2022 Map of Augusta

About this map

The community of Augusta serves as a central anchor in this East Texas landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainages including Sillege Cr and San Pedro Cr. The area is characterized by a significant density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Augusta Cem, Post Oak Cem, and the Davis Family Cem, providing a clear record of local lineage in Houston County. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the protected timberlands of the Davy Crockett National Forest, where the topography becomes more complex around Copperas Br and Babbitt Lake. The northern and eastern boundaries are defined by the convergence of Anderson, Cherokee, and Houston counties, with the Neches River marking the far northeastern corner. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous county roads like Co Rd 1211 and state routes like FM 228 connect isolated settlements and family landholdings.
