2019 Map of Laneville

About this map

Laneville and the surrounding Rusk County countryside appear as a network of rural settlements and family landmarks in this contemporary topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the Angelina River and its numerous tributaries, such as Buckner Cr and Chinquapin Cr, which carve through the terrain surrounding Elkins Mountains and Sirls Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, the high density of small family burial grounds is particularly significant, with sites like Gage Cem, McCune Cem, and Lyles- Sanders Cem preserved across the township. The map also documents the transition of earlier communities at Oak Flats, Anadarko, and Glenfawn, where church-affiliated cemeteries like Shiloh Cem and Glenfawn Cem serve as enduring anchors for these dispersed rural neighborhoods.
