2022 Map of Cason

About this map

The Welsh Reservoir dominates the western half of this Northeast Texas landscape, its irregular shoreline creating a complex series of inlets and fingers that define the local geography. Situated along the boundary of Titus and Morris counties, the area is characterized by a high density of rural family burial sites and community landmarks. The settlement of Cason serves as a central hub, while the smaller community of Gillis lies to the southeast, connected by a network of farm-to-market and county roads. Numerous creeks, including Swauano Creek and Boggy Creek, weave through the terrain, illustrating the hydrological network that feeds the reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of scattered sites like Justiss Cemetery, Snodgrass Cemetery, and Snow Hill Cemetery, which reflect the generations of family history rooted in these woods and fields.
