Landmarks & Vanished Communities

This index preserves the TXGenWeb collection of named places, geographic features, historic sites, and vanished communities associated with Anderson County, Texas.

About the coordinates: The USGS no longer maintains the GNIS database links formerly used by this collection. Copy and paste a latitude/longitude pair into a modern map service to view the location. Older coordinates may reflect NAD27 rather than NAD83, so some points can appear slightly displaced.
