2010 Map of Laneville

About this map

Laneville and the surrounding Rusk County countryside are defined by a network of creek branches and small settlements in this 2010 survey. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of the Elkins Mountains and Siris Mountain in the south toward the winding Angelina River and its various tributaries like Anadarko Creek and Buckner Creek. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial sites including Shiloh Cemetery, Bagley Cemetery, and the Lyles-Sanders Cemetery. Small communities like Freeneytown, Glenfawn, and Anadarko remain linked by a web of local roads, while the Hunter Lowry Airport stands as a notable modern landmark near the western edge. The drainage patterns of named waterways, such as Reagan Branch and Everett Branch, provide a detailed framework for understanding the historical land use and settlement distribution in this pocket of East Texas.
