About this map

Weches and the settlement of Weeping Mary anchor this landscape along the border of Cherokee and Houston Counties. The area is defined by the winding course of the Neches River, which feeds a complex system of oxbows and backwaters including Schoechler Lake, Pearman Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. Much of the southern terrain is protected within the Davy Crockett National Forest, where a network of recreational paths like the Hardwood Trail, Ravine Trail, and Big Pine Trail surround Mission Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documented burial sites, including the Weches Cem, Franklin Cem, and Easley Cems. A specific historical marker for the Dan and Hannah McLean Graves is noted near the western edge. The map also captures the local hydrography where numerous tributaries such as Bodenhamer Br and Boggy Glade Br feed into Camp Cr, illustrating the well-watered timberlands of East Texas.
