2013 Map of Southwest Palestine

About this map

Trinity River floodplains and the southwest periphery of Palestine define this 2013 landscape in Anderson County. The area is characterized by a high density of small water bodies and drainage systems, including Gum Cr, Cedar Cr, and Mack Cr. Genealogy researchers will find several notable burial sites such as Ft Houston Cem, Bacon Cem, and Magnolia Cem, alongside the small community of Tucker to the west. Evidence of the local energy economy is seen in the Long Lake Oil Field, while the Lakeview Assembly grounds at Lakeview Methodist Lake provide a clear view of the area's social and religious infrastructure. The northern edge shows the transition into urban development near the city, including local landmarks like Old Salt Works Lake.
