2012 Map of Shankleville

About this map

Shankleville stands at the center of this East Texas survey, surrounded by a complex network of bayous and creeks that define the local geography. The landscape is marked by several small communities connected by rural roads, including Wiergate to the north and Simmonsville to the east. Water features such as Yellow Bayou, Little Quicksand Cr, and Richland Br drain the territory, while the Burkeville Lookout Tower provides a notable landmark in the eastern hills. For those researching local family history, the map identifies several burial sites, including Simmons Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Griggs Cem near Stringtown. The southern edge of the quadrangle reaches the Newton Municipal Airport and the settlement of Quicksand, illustrating the transition from traditional rural settlements to modern regional infrastructure.
