2012 Map of Yantis

About this map

Yantis and its surrounding Wood County countryside are defined by a network of small creeks and the expanding fingers of Case Lake in the early 2010s. The landscape is dotted with small rural settlements including Seymore, Grubbe, Gilbreth, and Gamblin, reflecting the traditional township structure of East Texas. A cluster of local burial grounds, such as Seymore Cem, Yantis Cem, Sharp Cem, and Holland Cem, provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this area. Industrial and recreational interests are present through the Yantis Gas and Oil Field and the small private airstrip at Marlin's Meadow Airport. Waterways like Kintchloe Br, Running Cr, and Board Br wind through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed into the larger reservoir system. The map also captures the local road network, from established farm-to-market routes like FM-17 to smaller community lanes such as White Oak Cir.
