About this map

Smith Ferry Lookout Tower stands as a prominent navigation point in this wooded region of Tyler County, overlooking a complex network of waterways. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several significant branches and creeks, including Pamplin Creek, Tompkins Mill Creek, and Hopson Mill Creek. These drainages suggest a history of localized water-powered industry or early settlement patterns tied to the seasonal flow of the Neches River watershed.

Local family history is rooted in the presence of Davis Cemetery, Grimes Cemetery, and Gregory Cemetery, which are scattered among the timberlands and rural road network. The map detail reflects the 21st-century rural infrastructure of East Texas, where long-established timber roads and county routes like Fowler Rd and Rec Rd 255 provide the primary access to these isolated landmarks and the winding path of Clear Fork Creek.
