About this map

Cason sits at the intersection of several local routes in this East Texas landscape, serving as a focal point between the Titus and Morris County line. The western portion of the area is dominated by the sprawling Welsh Reservoir, which gathers waters from Swauano Cr and Williamson Cr. This reservoir's presence reshaped the local drainage and access, creating a complex shoreline that borders several long-established family sites.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Justiss Cem, Lev Olds Cem, and Snodgrass Cem, many of which are tucked away near the reservoir or along rural roads like Snow Hill Rd. To the southeast, the terrain shifts near the Black Mountains and the settlement of Gillis, where the headwaters of Big Cypress Cr flow through wooded lowlands and marshy wetlands, illustrating the transition from upland ridges to the river bottomlands.
