About this map

Lake O' the Pines dominates the northeastern landscape of this East Texas region, where the borders of Upshur, Marion, and Harrison counties converge. The modern settlement of Ore City serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of smaller communities and named landmarks like Cedar Springs and the Patto Settlement. The topography is defined by the winding course of Big Cypress Creek and numerous smaller tributaries such as Meddlin Cr and Beauchamp Cr.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites and religious centers, including Ore City Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Snow Hill Cem. The County Line Baptist Church stands near the southern boundary, reflecting the area's rural social fabric. The presence of Satterwhite Ranch Lake and Ferguson Lake illustrates the managed water resources typical of the Piney Woods region, while the intricate system of farm-to-market roads and named lanes facilitates access to these interior homesteads and lakefront points like Pleasure Pt.
