About this map

Little Pine Island Bayou and Pine Island Bayou define the hydrology of this Southeast Texas landscape, where the boundary between Hardin and Jefferson counties winds through dense wetlands. Much of the northern terrain is preserved as part of the Big Thicket National Preserve, characterized by a complex network of waterways like Grassy Pond Slough and Coon Marsh Gully.

Residential development is concentrated in established communities such as Bevil Oaks and Pinewood Estates, while Lumberton sits at the northeastern edge. For genealogists and local researchers, the map identifies the Pine Ridge Cem near the Pine Ridge settlement and names numerous rural lanes like Sapp Graveyard Rd, which hint at early family landholdings. The drainage patterns, from Byrd Gully to the Tenmile Gully, illustrate the natural floodplains that have shaped the growth and infrastructure of these piney woods communities.
