About this map

Lone Star and the northern reaches of Lake O' the Pines dominate this landscape near the junction of Morris, Cass, and Upshur counties. The map records a region shaped significantly by industrial-scale water management, where the waters of Big Cypress Creek are contained within the Ellison Creek Reservoir and Barnes Creek Reservoir. These reservoirs define the local geography, surrounded by prominent rises like Fowler Mtn and the Black Mountains.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-established burial grounds preserved on this sheet, including Iron Bluff Cem, South Union Cem, and Clark Cem. Small settlements like Jenkins and the southwestern edge of Hughes Springs sit among a dense network of county roads and farm-to-market routes. The terrain transitions from the developed corridors around Lone Star to the lowlands near Alley Cr and Peacock Cr, offering a detailed view of the area's mid-20th-century hydraulic and residential footprint.
