2010 Map of Starrville

About this map

Starrville and the nearby community of Friendship define this portion of the Texas Piney Woods at the start of the 21st century. The landscape is a network of small watersheds where Rice Creek, Simpson Creek, and Prairie Creek feed into a series of localized reservoirs, including Howell Club Lake and Hamrick Lake. Industry remains a quiet but present force here, represented by the Wright Mountain Oil Field in the eastern section of the quadrangle. For those researching family history, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, documenting several named cemeteries like Old Hopewell Cemetery, Siloam Cemetery, and Pinkston Cemetery. The road network, including Old Kilgore Hwy and Jackson Marshall Rd, illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure connecting these historic settlements and family lands.
