2014 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

The community of Battlefield sits at the heart of this Hempstead County landscape, where the topography transitions from the rising ground of Cedar Ridge toward the broad bottomlands of the Red River. The southwestern corner of the map is defined by distinct hydrological changes over time, including the Nineteen hundred and forty Cut-off Lake and the Nineteen-hundred and-sixteen Cut-off, which indicate the shifting course of the river through the century. Central to the area's geography is the large Bois d'Arc Lake, fed by the Bois d'Arc Cr and its various tributaries like Sandy Bois d'Arc Cr and Bridge Cr. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Hervey Cem, Foster Cem, and Providence Cem, which serve as physical markers of the area's settlement history near the crossroads of Spring Hill.
