2019 Map of Augusta

About this map

Augusta and Post Oak serve as the primary focal points in this section of East Texas, where the landscape is defined by the dense woodlands of the Davy Crockett National Forest. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family-named landmarks and resting places such as the John Sheridan Grave and the Davis Family Cem. Waterways like the Neches River, San Pedro Cr, and Hickory Hill Br carve through the terrain, with local crossings preserved at Bobbitt Bridge and Glover Bridge. The distribution of burial sites, including the Bodenhamer Cem and Wall Cem, suggests a long history of settlement near the ridges of Hickory Hill and Liberty Hill, providing a detailed record for genealogists and local historians tracking early residents of Houston and Cherokee counties.
