About this map

Livingston Reservoir dominates the northern reaches of this East Texas landscape, where the waters of the Trinity River carve deep meanders such as Simon Peter Bend. The area around Camilla and Rose Hill is characterized by a dense network of creeks and branches, including Huffman Creek and Henry Lake Branch, which drain into the river bottomlands. This 2010 survey reveals a quiet, rural geography defined by small-scale settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Mitchell Cemetery, Milby Hill Cemetery, and Ellis Cemetery.

The landscape south of the reservoir transitioning into the Simon Bottom highlights the complex hydrology of the region, featuring various oxbow-related water bodies like Toms Lake, Blue Lake, and Stock Pen Lake. These features, along with the numerous named branches like Sulphur Branch and Yates Creek, illustrate the historical importance of water access for settlement and land use in San Jacinto County.
