2013 Map of Laneville

About this map

Laneville serves as the central hub for this portion of Rusk County, where several farm-to-market roads converge amidst a network of rural settlements. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, such as Gage Cem, McCune Cem, and the Lyles Sanders Cem, which often represent the early centers of these family-named communities. Elevations rise notably toward the center and southwest with Sirls Mtn and the Elkins Mountains, breaking the pattern of creek drainages like Anadarko Cr and Buckner Cr. These waterways flow toward the Angelina River in the northwest. Smaller settlements like Freeneytown, Oak Flats, and Anadarko are connected by a web of county roads, reflecting a resilient rural infrastructure where legacy names like Bagley Cem and Shiloh Cem persist as significant landmarks for local history.
