About this map

Pirtle and its neighboring rural communities anchor this landscape southeast of Kilgore, where the terrain transitions from the edges of the city into the wooded drainage basins of East Texas. The map reveals a dense concentration of local heritage sites, particularly along the county line separating Gregg County and Rusk County. Prominent family and community landmarks such as the Pirtle Methodist Cemetery and Pirtle Baptist Cemetery suggest a deeply rooted settlement pattern, while names like Pitner Junction and Cross Roads mark historically significant transit points.
