2016 Map of Berea

About this map

Berea and Arbor sit within a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Davy Crockett National Forest in Houston County. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes that connect small settlements and family holdings. Significant genealogical landmarks are preserved on the sheet, including the English Cem near Wolf Lake and Concord Cem further south. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex creek system, including the prominent White Rock Cr, Dickey Cr, and Hurricane Bayou. To the southwest, Hopewell anchors the map near the intersection of several county roads. The prevalence of named ranches like Pine Shadows Ranch alongside national forest boundaries reflects the modern balance between private agriculture and public timberlands in East Texas.
