About this map

Augusta and Waneta anchor this rural landscape in Houston County, where the network of unpaved and farm-to-market roads reveals a community built around family landholdings and small creek systems. The presence of numerous family-named burial grounds, such as the Davis Family Cemetery, Bobbitt Cemetery, and Bodenhamer Cemetery, offers significant detail for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the winding Neches River at the northeastern corner and a complex web of drainage including Silver Creek and San Pedro Creek.

Notable crossings like Bobbitt Bridge and Glover Bridge connect the scattered settlements, while Liberty Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark. Large-scale water features like Moore Lake and the Grove Lakes interrupt the wooded tracts, indicating local water management and recreation. The mapping of specific sites like the Post Oak Cemetery near Post Oak further highlights the long-standing local heritage preserved in this corner of East Texas.
