About this map

Roganville stands as a central point of reference in this mid-1970s look at Jasper County, where small rural settlements are linked by a complex network of timbered drainages. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, including Big Creek and Thickety Creek, which carve through the terrain between local elevations like Bald Hill and Zion Hill. Notable for genealogists are the scattered communities of Erin, Eclipse, and Everett, along with a local Cem that indicates established family sites in the region.

Infrastructure markers such as a Lookout Tower and Radio Tower emphasize the area's utility and forestry management, while the settlement of Keithton to the north and Friendship to the east provide further geographic anchors. This survey, based on 1976 aerial photography and 1978 field checks, captures the rural character of the Texas Piney Woods before later decades of development, preserving the locations of names that represent the late 20th-century residential pattern of the county.
