“At her kitchen table she pulls out an old map from the Navarro County Historical Society and traces her finger from one town name to the next, including several old black communities. “These communities don’t exist no more,” she says. “Babylon, no more. Bethel, no more. Round Prairie’s about gone. Porter’s Bluff, it’s gone.”

From “On a quest to preserve history in Pelham, Texas” by DAVID TARRANT, Dallas Morning News

Note the interesting map at the beginning of the video.
