2013 Map of Boggy Lake

About this map

Smith Ferry Lookout Tower stands as a focal point in this 2013 survey of Tyler County, overlooking a landscape defined by an intricate network of creeks and timber roads. The area is heavily intersected by seasonal and perennial waterways, including the winding Tompkins Mill Cr and Pamplin Cr, which suggest a history of localized water-powered industry or early milling sites. For those tracing family histories, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the region, such as Davis Cem, Grimes Cem, and Gregory Cem. The road network consists primarily of county routes and specialized tracks like Grassburr Acres Rd and Timber Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing connection to the East Texas timber industry and rural residential patterns. Small tributaries like Snowden Spring Br and Boggy Br feed into the Clear Fork Cr, illustrating the complex drainage of this piney woods terrain.
