About this map

Elysian Fields and De Berry anchor this rural landscape along the Harrison and Panola county line in East Texas. The map shows a region defined by its small family cemeteries and seasonal drainage creeks, including Tuttle Cr, Jackson Cr, and the W Fork Socagee Cr. These watercourses create a dissected terrain where local roads like FM 31 and FM 1794 weave through the timber and pastureland.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including Lewis Cem, Harkrider Cem, Woodley Cem, and Evergreen Cem, many of which represent early pioneer settlements in this corner of the state. The prevalence of these family plots, such as Bracken Cem and Ingram Cem, suggests the deep ancestral roots of the local community. Significant water features like Furrh Lake and Mill Cr provide further landmarks for those tracing historical property boundaries or family land tracts in the 21st century.
