2019 Map of Southwest Palestine

About this map

Palestine sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the modern corridor of Loop 256 meets established neighborhoods and the historic Fort Houston Cem. The terrain to the south and west is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Gum Cr, Crooked Cr, and Cedar Cr, which flow toward the Trinity River at the Anderson and Leon County line. This area preserves a high concentration of sites important for genealogical research, with numerous burial grounds such as Bacon Cem, Magnolia Cem, and Pleasant Springs Cem scattered across the rural countryside.
