About this map

Avinger and Hughes Springs anchor this East Texas landscape, where the Piney Woods terrain is defined by a dense network of creeks and small private reservoirs. The settlement of Patman and the community at Love are situated along the winding paths of Hughes Creek and Turkey Creek, reflecting a rural development pattern based on water access and local road networks like Avinger Cut-Off Rd. Significant topographic landmarks such as Violet Hill and Donaldson Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Peacock Creek and Goodson Branch.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial sites including Mount Moriah Cemetery and Hickory Hill Cemetery. Water management is a prominent feature of the era, with numerous named impoundments such as Simpson Lake, Avis Lake, and Birdie Lake, each documented alongside their respective dams. The presence of Eagle Landing Airport southwest of Avinger highlights the modern transportation infrastructure serving this Cass County corridor.
