1984 Map of Call Junction

About this map

Call Junction and the surrounding timberlands of East Texas are documented in this 1984 provisional study, based on fieldwork from the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Cypress Creek basin and Nichols Creek, which carve through the terrain along the border of Jasper Co and Newton Co. Small settlements and named locales like Le Verte, Stamps, and Call are situated amidst a network of logging roads and improved routes, reflecting the region's historical ties to the lumber industry. The mapping captures a specific moment in the rural development of the Piney Woods, showing the distribution of structures and clearings near Deer Creek and Big Branch before subsequent decades of reforestation and growth changed the footprint of these local communities.
