About this map

Lone Star and the nearby Hughes Springs dominate this Northeast Texas landscape, where the regional economy is closely tied to the industrial and natural resources of the Piney Woods. The presence of the Lone Star Steel Co Rd underscores the historical significance of iron and steel production in this corner of the state. Water management is a central theme, with the massive Lake O' the Pines and Ellison Creek Reservoir shaping the local geography.

Genealogists can find numerous family-centric landmarks, including Clark Cem, S Union Cem, and Cheatham Cem, which provide clues to early settlement patterns. Significant terrain features such as Buzzard Roost Mountain, Fowler Mountain, and the Black Mountains rise above the basin of Big Cypress Cr. The map also captures smaller communities like Jenkins and Laman, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes like Ore Rd.
