About this map

Pinkston Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 15 Reservoir anchor the water management landscape of this Shelby County region. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Sandy Creek, Little Iron Ore Creek, and the Attoyac River along the southwestern boundary. Small settlements like Mount Herman and Aiken are situated along a web of county roads and state FM routes that connect these rural communities.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Lucas Cemetery and Sardis Cemetery. The map also details specific named geographical features like Pearl Lake and the prominent Rocky Mountain Road, reflecting the intersection of natural topography and human infrastructure in East Texas. The abundance of creek branches such as Poor Joe Creek and Poudrill Creek illustrates the intricate watershed feeding the larger reservoirs.
