About this map

Lake Murvaul dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape where the Rusk Co and Panola Co line meets. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and creek bottoms, where the waters of Murvaul Cr and Irons Bayou feed into the lake. This 2019 survey shows the rural character of the region, anchored by the settlements of Pinehill in the northwest and Dotson in the south.

Genealogists can trace family heritage through several legacy burial sites, including Buckner Cem near Pinehill and Roquemore Cem to the east. Distinctive elevations like Greems Mtn and Hog Mtn rise above the surrounding drainages of Hord Slough and Sand Cr, illustrating the localized relief of the East Texas piney woods. The map also details the winding paths of rural routes like FM 1798 and FM 348, which connect these dispersed timberland communities.
