About this map

Walshville and Panama anchor this agricultural landscape along the northern border of Montgomery and Bond counties. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of the Shoal Creek system, including West Fork Shoal Creek and the Middle Fork Shoal Creek. Small, localized high points like Rankin Mount and Robbs Mound rise above the drainage basins, while man-made water bodies such as Harry Sampsons Lake and Panama Lake punctuate the rural topography.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of burial sites across this quadrangle, suggesting early settlement patterns tied to both church communities and family plots. Notable locations include the Walshville Baptist Cem, the Rankin Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Cem, and Union Cem. A dense network of county roads and named trails like Walshville Trl and Red Bridge Trl connects the scattered homesteads and townships, tracing the movement of residents between the regional hubs of Sorento and the surrounding farmland.
