2013 Map of Tennessee Colony

About this map

Tennessee Colony serves as the central hub of this Anderson County landscape, where rural routes branch out into a network of small creeks and wetlands. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Beaver Cr and Spring Cr, which feed into larger water bodies and reservoirs established for local land management. Evidence of long-standing community life is visible at the Jimmison Quarter Cem, a site of significant genealogical value for local families. In the south, the settlement of Harmony sits near the winding paths of Keechie Cr, while the western edge of the map is bordered by the Trinity River. This document records a period of modern water conservation, featuring the Soil Conservation Service Site 1 Reservoir and its counterpart, Site 2 Reservoir, which have reshaped the traditional hydrology of the Texas plains.
