About this map

The town of Timpson serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, situated along the border of Panola and Shelby Counties. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Flat Fork Creek and Hardage Creek, which feed into the Attoyac River along the southwestern boundary. This modern record details a rural environment where agricultural land and dense creek bottoms are punctuated by man-made features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the countryside, including Woodlawn Cemetery, Smyrna Cemetery, and Corinth Cemetery. These sites, along with isolated water bodies like Hudman Lake and Julian Lake, trace the long-standing settlement patterns of the Piney Woods region, where small rural communities were traditionally established near reliable water sources and along the network of county roads.
