2019 Map of Tyler North

About this map

Tyler and its northern outskirts in Smith County are characterized by a dense network of small lakes and creek drainages that historically shaped the region's development. Water features like Hitts Lake, Spring Lake, and the larger Tyler State Park Lake define the northern landscape, while Black Fork Cr and its tributaries wind through the terrain. The map captures the interface between the urban growth of Montgomery Gardens and the long-established rural communities of Swan and Shady Grove. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of several local burial grounds, including the large Evergreen Cem and smaller sites like Shamburber Cem and Old Butler Cem. The presence of Beauchamps Springs and Cousin Spring highlights the area's natural hydrology, which supported these settlements before modern municipal expansion.
