About this map

Tyler's southern suburban growth is well-documented in this 2010 study, revealing a landscape defined by an extensive network of cemeteries and managed water bodies. The core of the map is dominated by a grid of residential streets punctuated by landmark institutions such as the Caldwell Zoo and the East Texas Fairground. A string of cemeteries including Oakwood Cemetery, Rose Hill Cemetery, and Ahavath Achim Cemetery provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

Hydrology plays a central role in the area's layout, with West Mud Creek and Black Fork Creek draining the region. Engineered water features like Bellwood Lake and the West Mud Creek Lake Dam suggest the importance of local water management and recreation as the city expanded southward. The density of named thoroughfares like Old Jacksonville Hwy and Paluxy Dr illustrates the transition from rural Smith County land into a modern urban corridor.
