About this map

Martin Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Northeast Texas survey, where the borders of Rusk, Panola, and Gregg counties converge. The town of Tatum serves as a local hub near the eastern edge, while the settlements of Easton, Mayflower, and Dirgin mark the surrounding rural landscape. This modern perspective on the region shows a complex network of county roads, such as Co RD 2194 and Co RD 2170, which navigate around the many drainages feeding the Sabine River basin.

Genealogists will find critical landmarks like Harmony Hill Cem and Martin Cem preserved on the terrain, alongside smaller water features like Doc Young Pond and Taylor Br. The topography is defined by the persistent flow of Cherokee Bayou in the north and numerous seasonal creeks, including Rocky Ford Cr and Panther Cr, which illustrate the hydrology that has shaped agricultural and settlement patterns in this part of the state for generations.
