2019 Map of Tennessee Colony

About this map

Tennessee Colony sits at the heart of this Anderson County landscape, where the topography is defined by the complex drainage systems of several key waterways. To the north and east, Beaver Creek and Lake Creek carve through the terrain, while the southern reaches are marked by the presence of Harmony near the banks of Keechie Creek. The area reflects a history of local land management, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir, which sits in the western portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Jimmison Quarter Cem, situated near Spring Creek. The transport network includes the historically significant Wildcat Ferry Rd, pointing toward former river crossings, while the low-lying areas near Massey Lake and Cedar Lake Slough illustrate the natural wetland characteristics of this East Texas region.
