About this map

Carterville and its surrounding rural landscapes in Cass County are defined by a complex network of waterways and small family settlements. Low-lying drainages like Pigeon Roost Cr and Flat Cr wind through the terrain, punctuated by several managed bodies of water such as Linden Club Lake, Skelton Lake, and George Wesley Morse Lake. These reservoirs and the surrounding creek bottoms illustrate the importance of water management in this portion of Northeast Texas.

Genealogists can trace early area residents through the locations of Boon Cem and Concord Cem, while the inclusion of the Boon/Lovelace Airport reflects local aviation history near the community of Warren Springs. The distribution of small settlements like Almira and Pleasant Hill among a dense grid of county roads provides a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure and residential patterns typical of the Piney Woods region at this time.
