About this map

Darco and the surrounding timberlands of Harrison County are defined by a heavy industrial footprint in this early 1980s provisional survey. Massive Strip Mines and numerous Gravel Pits dominate the central terrain, indicating the intensive resource extraction that shaped the local economy and landscape during this era. The Sabine River forms the southern boundary, where the river's winding course creates a series of oxbow features including Hendricks Lakes and Round Lake.

Away from the industrial sites, small rural settlements like Roseborough and landmarks such as Roseborough Springs provide evidence of earlier community focal points. The map records a complex network of drainage, with Brandy Branch, Potters Creek, and Starkey Creek carving through the wooded hills. For local historians, the intersection of the Harrison Co Panola Co line and the Rusk Co Harrison Co boundary offers a precise look at the jurisdictional borders near the river bottomlands.
