About this map

The Attoyac River carves a winding path through this corner of Rusk County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family burial grounds. Local history is deeply embedded in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the terrain, including Hall Cem, Whitfield Cem, and Langston Spence Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing regional family roots. The settlement pattern is relatively dispersed, with Lawsonville, Caledonia, and Concord serving as central points connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes.

Water management is evident in the presence of the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir, which regulate the drainage of various creeks such as Golondrina Cr and Gingham Br. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of a timber and agricultural region where traditional community names like Bryce, Eulalie, and Arlam persist alongside contemporary conservation infrastructure.
