About this map

Little Cypress Bayou meanders across the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a network of waterways that includes Eagle Cr and Caney Cr. This Harrison County terrain is characterized by dispersed settlements and family landholdings, reflected in the numerous burial grounds like Jones Cem near Old Diana and Ashland Cem situated near the crossroads at Ashland Hts. The map details a transition from the historic center at Old Diana toward newer developments near James and Diana.

A dense grid of rural routes, such as FM-726 and FM-3248, connects isolated communities like Smyrna and Morton. The inclusion of smaller water features like French Lake and Panther Cr suggests a landscape defined by its drainage into the bayou system. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of how residential growth, evidenced by street names like Angela Dr and Lakeshore Dr, has integrated with the traditional agricultural and timber lands of East Texas.
