2013 Map of Gary

About this map

Gary and the surrounding rural communities of Panola County are defined by a complex drainage network where Murvaul Cr and its many tributaries, including Brushy Cr and Nail Cr, wind through the timbered landscape. The settlement pattern is deeply rooted in local family history, as evidenced by several namesake burial grounds such as Gary Taylor Cem and Anderson Cem. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern road network, including FM-10 and FM-999, which connects dispersed communities like Antioch and Shady Grove. Notable topographic rises like Sixmile Hill and Risinger Hill break the gently undulating terrain, while water features like Calhoun Lake and the meandering Holmes Bayou reflect the wet bottomlands characteristic of this part of East Texas.
