2013 Map of Wells

About this map

Wells serves as the primary hub in this portion of Cherokee County, where a grid of local streets like E 3rd St and May St meet near the diagonal path of the regional highway. The landscape south of the town is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Sapulpa Cr, Bodan Cr, and Durham Cr, which eventually feed into the Neches River along the southwestern corner. These waterways create a complex drainage pattern through the lowlands, interspersed with small settlements such as Redtown. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the locations of established burial grounds, including Simpson Cem north of Sapulpa Cr and Rowan Cem near the banks of Rowan Cr. The mapping of small creek branches like Tackleg Br, Wise Br, and McAdam Spring Br provides a clear view of the rural drainage and property divisions in this East Texas timber and creek-bottom country.
