About this map

The community of Mount Herman and the nearby settlement of Aiken anchor this East Texas landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of creeks and several significant water bodies. To the northwest, Pinkston Reservoir was created by the construction of Pinkston Dam along Sandy Creek, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are bounded by the Attoyac River. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous drainages, including Little Iron Ore Creek, Bog Creek, and Dean Creek, which suggest the timbered and water-rich environment of the Piney Woods region.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several notable landmarks preserved on this survey. Lucas Cemetery lies to the east, and Sardis Cemetery is situated in the south near Rocky Mountain Rd. A spiderweb of county roads, such as Co Rd 1510 and Co Rd 1211, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and residential patterns surrounding Pearl Lake and the various branches of the local river system.
