2013 Map of Lake Murvaul

About this map

Lake Murvaul dominates this landscape in Panola County, its intricate shoreline defined by numerous points and creek inlets like Smith Point and Witherspoon Br. The map documents a rural East Texas community organized around the settlements of Clayton and Buncome, where the land begins to rise toward Stonewall Hill. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Heath Long Cem, Ross Etheridge Cem, and Snap Cem. The presence of the Boy Scouts of America Camp on the southern shore of the reservoir highlights the area's transition toward recreation, while the dense network of county roads like Lakeshore Dr and Co RD-1754 reflects the local infrastructure supporting these lakeside communities and traditional timber or ranching tracts.
