2013 Map of Harris Chapel

About this map

The Sabine River winds through the northern landscape of Panola County, defining a region where water management and rural settlement intersect. This 2013 survey reveals an intricate network of wetlands, including Hendricks Lakes, Trout Lake, and the winding Cypress Slough, which frame the low-lying terrain. The town of Beckville anchors the southern edge of the map, connected to the smaller community of Harris Chapel by a web of county roads and state highways. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Watson Cem, Williams Cem, and Conner Cem. The presence of the Beckville Lookout and several utility corridors suggest the modern infrastructure supporting this East Texas community, while names like Boards Ferry and Center Point hint at older centers of activity near the river and historic crossroads.
