About this map

Tyler State Park Lake and the surrounding pine-filled hills of Smith County define the landscape of this 2010 survey. The area north of Tyler is characterized by a dense network of water resources and small, established communities. Named settlements such as Sand Flat, Swan, and Pine Springs are connected by a web of rural roads, including Old Tyler Hwy and State Park Hwy. The map reveals a complex hydrology of small lakes and dams, such as Hitts Lake, Federal Lake, and Tyler Pipe Industries Lake Number 2, illustrating the localized management of the Black Fork Creek and Little Saline Creek watersheds.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Old Butler Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and Shamburger Cemetery. These sites, along with landmarks like Beauchamps Springs, provide essential anchor points for tracing family history and rural development in East Texas. The landscape shows a clear transition from the industrial activity near Swan to the recreational and natural spaces preserved around the state park.
