1982 Map of Tennessee Colony

About this map

Tennessee Colony and Harmony serve as the primary focal points of this East Texas survey, which reveals a landscape deeply influenced by its water resources and emerging energy extraction. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Keechie Creek, feeding into a complex system of local water bodies including Spring Lake, Prairie Lake, and Cedar Lake. This area of Anderson County and Freestone County shows a distinct transition between agricultural use and industrial development, marked by numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered among traditional landmarks. Cultural and social foundations are represented by the Providence Ch and the Jimmison Quarter Cem. To the south, the extensive grounds of the Coffield State Prison Farm occupy a significant portion of the landscape, bordered by the Slough and the marshy edges of Snag Lake.
