About this map

Crossroads serves as a focal point for this rural Harrison County landscape, where the local road network branches out into the piney woods and creek bottoms of East Texas. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Strickland Springs Cem, Granbury Cem, and McKay Cem. These sites, often situated on higher ground or near historical crossroads, provide a mapping of early settlement patterns and family lineages across the territory.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with W Fork Socagee Cr and E Fork Socagee Cr draining the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. To the north, the modern infrastructure of I-20 cuts through the terrain, contrasting with older routes like Old Town Rd. The presence of Crossroads Methodist Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem further underscores the importance of church and community centers in this enduring East Texas landscape.
