2022 Map of Austonio

About this map

The Trinity River defines the southwestern boundary of this landscape, carving a wide alluvial plain across the Houston Co and Leon Co line. Central to the region is the small settlement of Ash, surrounded by family burial grounds like Murphys Cem and Bogg Cem. The rural road network, including the evocative Alabama Ferry Rd, suggests a long history of river-crossing commerce and regional transit. Toward the east, the community of Austonio sits at a junction near Blackhouse Cr, while Mapleton anchors the southern portion of the sheet. Between these points, the land is characterized by drainage systems like Henderson Cr and the distinct shoreline of Coon Lake 1 and Coon Lake 2, reflecting the hydrological complexity of the East Texas bottomlands.
