2022 Map of Tecula

About this map

Mixon and Tecula anchor this section of Cherokee County, where a complex network of small drainage ways and ponds defines the topography. The landscape is characterized by its numerous water bodies, including Smith Lake, Goldy Lake, and the larger Stockton Lake. These features, along with the meandering paths of Mud Cr and its tributaries like W Mud Cr and E Mud Cr, indicate a low-lying, well-watered region where rural life is shaped by the creek bottoms. Genealogists will find the Mixon Cem and Tecula Cem centrally located near their respective settlements, while landmarks such as Rocky Point provide distinctive geographic reference points amid the winding county roads. The density of named branches, such as Lavender Br and Piney Br, highlights the intricate natural irrigation that has long influenced land use in this part of East Texas.
