About this map

Arbala and Bonanza sit at the northern edge of a landscape defined by the expansive waters of Case Lake. This region of East Texas showcases a complex shoreline where numerous creeks, such as Elm Cr and Gordon Br, feed into the reservoir system. The map reveals a dense network of rural roads connecting small communities like Poole and Shady Grove, reflecting a pattern of long-standing family settlements and agricultural holdings.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites distributed across the area, including Welch Cem, Deaton Cem, and the Robertson-Henrys Chapel Cem. Local history is further highlighted by the descriptive Shotgun Crossing and the John R. Armstrong Memorial Field Airport, which serves the local aviation needs. The drainage patterns of Linn Br, Brier Br, and Magee Br illustrate the natural topography that shaped early road placements before the modern development of water resources in the basin.
