1985 Map of Wiergate

About this map

Wiergate and Burkeville anchor the southern reaches of this East Texas timber and creek-fed landscape as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The region is defined by a dense network of waterways including Little Cow Creek and Bear Branch, where the terrain begins to rise into the piney woods. A significant historical marker is the Old Railroad Grade running through Wiergate, tracing the path of former logging infrastructure that once powered the local economy. Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history through numerous small burial sites such as Rogers Cem, Toledo Cem, and Mattox Cem, often situated near rural congregations like Mt Pleasant Ch or Eddie Gatson Ch. These scattered landmarks, along with a Gravel Pit and various wells, reveal a pattern of rural settlement deeply tied to the land and its resources.
