About this map

Troup and Arp anchor the southern and northern reaches of this East Texas survey, where the Smith County and Cherokee County line intersects the landscape. The region is defined by a dense network of local roads and watercourses, including Kickapoo Cr and Beaver Run. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its clear marking of several historic burial grounds, such as Shiloh Cem, Elkins Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Salem Cem.

Sinclair City and the settlement of Salem sit among the undulating terrain between the larger towns. To the northwest, the map captures the finger-like inlets of Lake Tyler, featuring Twin Bay Peninsula and Grand View Point. This modern topographic survey illustrates how historical rural communities and family-named landmarks persist alongside contemporary infrastructure like the Old Henderson Hwy and FM 15.
