2022 Map of Gary

About this map

Gary City and the surrounding Panola County countryside are defined by a network of small creeks and low-lying wetlands in this modern topographical study. The landscape is characterized by its numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Taylor Cem, Capps Cem, and Woods Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of East Texas. The terrain rises to notable high points at Sixmile Hill and Risinger Hill, while the drainage system of Murvaul Creek and Sixmile Cr shapes the settlement patterns near Pleasant Ridge and Daniels. Highway 59 cuts a straight path through the eastern half of the map, contrasting with the winding paths of Beech Br and Holmes Bayou. The inclusion of small-scale landmarks like Calhoun Lake and local routes like Ball Homestead Rd provides a granular view of the contemporary rural infrastructure.
