2019 Map of Cason

About this map

The Welsh Reservoir serves as a central hydrological feature for this portion of East Texas, where the borders of Titus, Morris, and Camp counties converge. The small settlement of Cason sits just east of the reservoir, positioned along a network of country roads including FM 144 and Snow Hill Rd. This landscape is particularly rich for family historians, as it preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, such as Justiss Cem, Snodgrass Cem, and Lev Olds Cem. Further south, near the Black Mountains, the terrain transitions toward the drainage basins of Swauano Cr and Boggy Cr. The map also identifies the locality of Gillis, providing a spatial record of small rural centers and the winding creek systems like Whitmore Br and Okry Cr that have shaped the region's agricultural and social patterns for generations.
