About this map

Cushing serves as the primary hub of this East Texas landscape, where the borders of Nacogdoches and Rusk counties meet. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations such as Button Mtn, Denny Mtn, and Flower Mtn, which rise above the drainage basins of the E Fork Angelina River and Little Bayou Loco. Small communities like Oak Flat and Looneyville are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes, reflecting a rural settlement pattern deeply rooted in the land.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the area, including Old Pine Grove Cem, Friendship Cem, and the Blackburn Cem. The map detail captures the intersection of water and transport, with several creeks like Jones Cr and Indian Cr winding through the timbered hills, illustrating the local geography just before the second decade of the 21st century.
