2022 Map of Fair Play

About this map

The boundary between Rusk and Panola Counties divides this landscape of eastern Texas, where the waters of Martin Lake dominate the northwest corner. This area is defined by a dense network of local watercourses, including Weir Creek, Buckner Creek, and Walkers Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain. The settlement of Liberty sits near the lakeshore, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with family and community burial grounds that provide a vital link for genealogical research. These sites, such as Sugar Hill Cemetery, Williams Cemetery, and Harris Cemetery, are dispersed across the quadrangle, often situated near minor county roads. The transport network relies on a mix of state FM roads and local routes like County Line Road, reflecting the rural character of the region as it transitions between the lakefront and the wooded interior.
