2016 Map of Boggy Lake

About this map

Boggy Lake sits at the heart of this East Texas terrain, which is defined by an intricate network of creeks and branches feeding into the larger local watersheds. The landscape is marked by numerous family-named burial grounds, including Davis Cem, Grimes Cem, and Gregory Cem, suggesting long-standing family ties to the land. Transportation through the area is facilitated by a dense grid of county roads and forestry routes like Fowler Rd and FM 256, which wind through the topographical relief. Water features dominate the map, with named drainages such as Tompkins Mill Cr, Hanson-Mill Cr, and Snowden Spring Br indicating the historical importance of water for early industry and milling in the region. The map provides a look at the rural character of Tyler County during the mid-2010s, showing a mix of established homesteads and undeveloped natural corridors.
