About this map

The Waskom Gas and Oil Field anchors the economy of this borderland region where Texas meets Louisiana. Centered on the town of Waskom, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by petroleum extraction and drainage patterns like Little Sis Cr and the E Fork Socagee Cr. The settlement of Lorraine sits near the state line, while Jonesville appears to the northwest, connected by local routes such as FM-134 and the Jonesville Cutoff.

Family and community history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including Restland Cem, Hightower Cem, and the Draper Cem further east. A unique concentration of specialized sites appears south of State Line Lake, where the Park Rest Cem and a dedicated Pet Cem are located. To the southeast, the Greenwood Lookout Tower provides a vertical landmark over the low-lying terrain and local timberlands.
