1958 Map of Bear Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Sam Houston National Forest covers a substantial portion of this landscape at the intersection of San Jacinto and Montgomery Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways feeding into the East Fork San Jacinto River and Winters Bayou, including Bear Creek and Jayhawker Creek. Small settlements and community landmarks like Oak Grove and the Purkerson Cem are connected by rural routes such as Hill Store Road. The presence of Mercy Field and various Oil Wells indicates the region's mid-century reliance on petroleum extraction. Local spiritual life is anchored by Magnolia Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Montague Ch, which appear as important social nodes in an area otherwise dominated by timber and oil interests.
