About this map

Pitner Junction and the small settlement of Pirtle occupy the western edge of this East Texas landscape, where the southern outskirts of Kilgore transition into a dense network of creek bottoms and small summits. The terrain is defined by its hydrology, with Tiawichi Cr and its tributaries like Cass Br feeding into the wetlands around Johnson Lake. To the north, Martin Lake sits along the Gregg and Rusk county line, a major landmark in a region characterized by timbered hills and rural homesteads.

Industrial activity is noted by a prominent Pit near the center of the sheet, while the cultural geography is marked by historic community centers like Cross Roads and New Hope. The map details an intricate system of county roads and farm-to-market routes, such as FM 1249 and FM 2276, which connect these dispersed settlements. Elevations vary from the low-lying basin of Wunns Bayou to the localized high point of Holland Mtn, illustrating the varied topography of the Piney Woods region.
