2016 Map of Panola

About this map

Panola and Bethany anchor this 2016 study of the borderlands between Panola County, Texas, and Caddo Parish, Louisiana. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the E Fork Socagee Cr and W Fork Socagee Cr, which drain the wooded terrain alongside Boggy Bayou and Mill Cr. This map illustrates the rural settlement pattern typical of the Piney Woods region, where local landmarks like the Jernigan Cem, Ivory Cem, and State Line Cem offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories across state lines. The presence of numerous designated routes, such as Springridge Texas Line Rd and State Line Rd, highlights the importance of the interstate boundary in local navigation and land division. To the northeast, the water of Lakeland Farm Lake stands out as a primary hydrological feature in this transition zone.
