Driving Directions and GPS Coordinates
🚗 Driving Directions: From Athens, TX (approx. 19 minutes)
Start in Athens, TX – Head northeast on TX‑19 N/N Palestine St toward Main St. Continue to follow TX‑19 N for roughly 11 miles. As you approach the area near Tucker, prepare to exit TX‑19 N heading toward FM 2495 or a local country road—there’s no direct numbered highway right to the exact coordinates. Turn right (east) onto a local farm-to-market (FM) road or county road, such as FM 2495, and follow it for about 1–2 miles until your GPS indicates you're within ~0.2 miles of your coordinates

Maps and GPS Coordinates: Maps and GPS coordinates are believed to be accurate, but accuracy is not guaranteed. The information contained in the maps should not be considered a “legal description,” and the maps and GPS coordinates are not a replacement for a survey. We have taken reasonable steps to ensure that parcel lines, maps, and coordinates are in fact accurate, but third-party geographical information system (GIS) providers, including information from the county, often contain errors and inaccuracies.
