2019 Map of Apple Springs

About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates the topography of this East Texas region, where dense timber and creek bottoms define the rural landscape. Small communities like Helmic and Nigton are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and forest service tracks, including FM 357 and FM 2262. For genealogists, the Mount Zion Cem serves as a critical landmark near Crib Cr. The northeastern corner of the map reveals the complex hydrology of the Neches River basin, featuring Old River Island, Viney Bend, and Faglea Lake along the boundary between Trinity and Angelina counties. This area is characterized by slow-moving waterways such as Alabama Cr and Forsythe Cr that wind through the protected woodland, illustrating the persistence of timber-based land use in the Piney Woods.
