About this map

The Attoyac River carves a winding path through this landscape at the intersection of Nacogdoches, Rusk, and Shelby Counties. The town of Garrison occupies the western edge, serving as a local hub near Greenwood Cem. To the east, the terrain rises toward Bennett Mtn and Hollow Rock Mtn, while rural communities like Silas and Stockman are connected by a network of farm-to-market and county roads.

Water management is a central theme of the geography, evidenced by Lake Timpson and several engineered reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 18a Reservoir. These sites along tributaries like Blackwater Cr and Bear Bayou reflect the 20th-century transition toward soil and water conservation in East Texas. For genealogists, the inclusion of Mast Cem and other family-named landmarks provides specific points of reference for tracing local heritage in this wooded river valley.
