About this map

Mossy Grove sits at the northeastern edge of this Walker County landscape, situated near the intersection of Interstate 45 and FM 2989. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including S Bedias Cr, Steep Br, and Brushy Cr, which feed into numerous small water bodies such as Haynes Lake and Guerrant-Adams Company Lake. This 2013 survey reveals a rural infrastructure of winding county roads like Round Prairie Rd and Red Hill Rd, connecting scattered family residences and agricultural properties.

Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of local burial sites, with McAdams Cem, Long Cem, and Carter Cem clearly marked across the quadrangle. The presence of the Jordan Ranch Airport and the naming of private ranch roads like Scales Ranch Rd suggest a landscape dominated by large-scale landholdings and private aviation, typical of this region of East Texas during the early 21st century.
