About this map

Village Creek and its many tributaries, including the curiously named Bad Luck Creek, define the landscape of this Hardin County area. The map documents several established communities and rural junctions, most notably Village Mills in the north and the cluster of Honey Island, Lelavale, and Dies along the southern corridor. The road network reveals the local history of land use, with family and descriptive names like Old Bragg Rd, Joe Allen Rd, and Holland Cemetery Rd providing clues to the region's development.

Genealogists will find the locations of Holland Cemetery and Brackin Cemetery particularly useful for identifying family burial sites in relation to these historical settlements. The drainage patterns of Big Sandy Creek and Flat Cypress Creek suggest a low-lying, water-dominant environment that has historically influenced the placement of homes and transport routes through this part of East Texas.
