1984 Map of Boggy Lake

About this map

Boggy Lake serves as a central landmark in this Tyler County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of tributaries that feed into Boggy Creek. The map documents a predominantly rural environment defined by its hydrology, with naming conventions like Hopson Mill Creek and Tompkins Mill Creek suggesting the historical presence of water-powered industry along these drainage ways. A lone Graveyard located near Sulphur Creek and Sugar Branch provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local family footprints. Modern utility infrastructure is represented by a Pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain, while local industry is noted by a Gravel Pit in the western reaches. The intricate creek systems, including Snowden Spring Branch and the Clear Fork, illustrate the complex natural drainage patterns of this East Texas region during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
