2013 Map of Timpson

About this map

Timpson serves as the focal point of this Shelby County landscape, where the town’s street grid meets a network of Farm to Market roads and county routes. The terrain is defined by a dense web of waterways including the Attoyac River, Flat Fork Cr, and Byfield Cr, which snake through the surrounding countryside. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by substantial man-made features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 8 Reservoir situated west of the town center. Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites such as Woodlawn Cem on the edge of the settlement and the more secluded Dixon Cem to the southwest. The presence of smaller water bodies like Hudman Lake and Julian Lake illustrates the rural character of this East Texas region, where agriculture and conservation efforts have shaped the modern landscape.
