2010 Map of Austonio

About this map

Alabama Ferry and the broad curves of the Trinity River anchor the western edge of this Houston County landscape, where rural life is defined by a network of creeks and small settlements. The community of Austonio serves as a local hub near the intersection of FM 1280 and Blackhouse Creek, while the smaller hamlet of Ash sits more centrally, positioned near Bogg Cemetery. To the south, the village of Mapleton marks the junction of FM 3275, surrounded by large landholdings like the Seven J Ramp Ranch and Rattlesnake Ranch. The map reveals a managed water system in the central-west, featuring Coon Lake 1 and Coon Lake 2 held by Coon Dam 1 and Coon Dam 2. Tributaries like Henderson Creek, Big Creek, and Georgia Camp Creek drain the undulating terrain, following a drainage pattern that has shaped the placement of farm-to-market roads and cattle operations for generations.
