2016 Map of Beech Grove

About this map

Beech Grove and Spring Hill anchor this rural Jasper County landscape, defined by an intricate network of creeks and branches that drain into the Neches River watershed. The terrain is characterized by winding county roads like Garland Smith Rd and Springhill Ln that follow the natural rises and falls of the land between waterways. A high density of family-named burial sites, including Holton Cem, Sanders Cem, and Allen Cem, suggests a deeply rooted community where generations of families have maintained local landholdings. The drainage patterns are particularly complex here, with Big Walnut Run, Pickering Cr, and Robinson Br carving out distinct valleys. This 2016 survey provides a precise record of these long-standing homesteads and the various small tributaries, such as Blewett Br and Hurricane Br, which continue to shape the physical and social geography of this corner of East Texas.
