2010 Map of Old Panola

About this map

The settlement of Centennial and its namesake Centennial Cemetery anchor the northern reaches of this Panola County landscape, where the rural character of East Texas is defined by a dense network of creek drainages. To the south, the namesake Old Panola sits near the crossing of several local roads, while Shiloh marks a distinct point of habitation further east. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of Socagee Creek and Mill Creek, which flow through a terrain dotted with small water bodies. Notable water features include Bagley Lake, regulated by the Bagley Lake Dam, and the isolated Bouges Pond. This survey preserves the spatial relationship between these small communities and their natural environment, showing a landscape of scattered farmsteads and rural crossroads before further modernization altered the local road and drainage patterns.
