2016 Map of Tecula

About this map

Mixon and Tecula anchor this central Cherokee County landscape, where the rural road network and creek drainages dictate the pattern of modern settlement. The area is defined by a complex web of small lakes and watercourses, including the notable Greenhead Lake in the northwest and Stockton Lake to the south. Historically significant sites for genealogists include the Tecula Cem, situated near the crossing of local routes in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain rises to distinct elevations like Rocky Point, while the surrounding land is carved by numerous branches such as Lavender Br and Birches Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates how established farm-to-market roads like FM 347 and FM 177 continue to serve as the primary corridors for the region's agricultural and residential activity.
