About this map

The Davy Crockett National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the Neches River forms the natural boundary between Houston, Anderson, and Cherokee counties. This 1982 edition captures the rural character of East Texas, centered on the historic crossroads of Augusta and the nearby settlements of Liberty Hill and Waneta. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Miles Creek, Silver Creek, and San Pedro Creek, which carve through the wooded uplands near Franklin Top.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community landmarks like Brewington Ch and several family-named burial grounds such as Post Oak Cem, Bobbitt Cem, and Glover Cem. The map also documents the region's mid-century industrial footprint, showing numerous scattered Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and a prominent Pipeline corridor cutting through the forest and farmland.
