About this map

Old Panola and the Centennial Cem anchor this landscape along the state line where East Texas meets Louisiana. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and parish routes, including FM 2517 and Oilfield Rd, which navigate a terrain carved by numerous waterways. Significant drainages such as Socagee Cr, Salt Cr, and Little Cr wind through the hills, feeding into larger features like Bagley Lake and Bouges Pond.

The map reveals the persistent rural character of Panola Co and its neighboring parishes, where family-named landmarks like Johns Rd and Holmes Rd reflect long-standing local ties. The presence of specialized routes like Oil Well Rd points to the region's historical reliance on timber and energy extraction, while the concentration of cemeteries and small settlements provides essential data for those tracing ancestral roots in this borderland territory.
