About this map

The Attoyac River valley serves as a geographic anchor for this mid-1980s survey, where the borders of Rusk, Shelby, and Nacogdoches counties converge. Small settlements like Garrison and Stockman are connected by a network of rural roads that weave through a landscape defined by significant water features and elevated terrain. The map records the presence of Timpson Lake in the north and the smaller Lake Tinkle to the south, highlighting the importance of managed water resources in this East Texas region.

Prominent landforms such as Bennett Mtn and Hollow Rock Mtn rise above the dense creek systems, including Lick Creek and Bear Bayou. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the map provides a clear picture of the residential clusters and rural infrastructure at Silas and Jenks, as they existed during this period of field-checked accuracy. The intricate drainage patterns of Blackwater Creek and Hardage Creek illustrate the natural topography that shaped the development of these communities.
