2010 Map of Panola

About this map

Bethany Oil and Gas Field anchors the western landscape of this borderland survey, illustrating the petroleum industry's footprint near the Texas-Louisiana state line. The small settlements of Bethany and Panola are positioned along the primary transit corridors, serving as local hubs in a region defined by a dense network of watercourses. The drainage patterns of East Fork Socagee Creek and the West Fork Socagee Creek converge toward the south, while Boggy Bayou and Mill Creek shape the eastern terrain. Family and community history is preserved through several distinct burial grounds, including Jernigan Cemetery, Ivory Cemetery, and the appropriately named State Line Cemetery, which sits directly on the boundary between the two states. The presence of Lakeland Farm Lake indicates localized water management in an area otherwise characterized by natural bayous and creek bottoms.
