2016 Map of Carthage

About this map

Carthage serves as the focal point of this Panola County landscape, where the urban grid of the county seat meets the complex bottomlands of the Sabine River. The map reveals a community defined by its educational and transport infrastructure, featuring Panola Coll and the Panola County Airport-Sharpe Field. To the north, the small settlement of Walnut Grove sits near the winding course of Irons Bayou. The eastern portion of the survey is dominated by a dense network of riparian features such as Fish Lake Slough, Bean Lake Slough, and The Basin, illustrating the hydrological influence of the river valley. Local history is anchored by sites like Walker Cem and Fite Cem, while numerous small lakes, including Prior Lake Number 1, dot the southern terrain, reflecting the area's rich water resources and traditional land use patterns near the Louisiana border.
