About this map

Livingston Reservoir defines the northern edge of this San Jacinto County landscape, where the waters meet a network of small settlements and family burying grounds. The community of Camilla sits near the reservoir's edge, surrounded by several smaller historic sites including Milby Hill Cem and Mitchell Cem. To the south, the terrain transitions into the creek-carved bottomlands of the Trinity River, which makes a dramatic loop at Simon Peter Bend.

Tracing the drainage patterns of Huffman Cr and Little Cr reveals a rural infrastructure of county roads and forest service routes, including the Lone Star Trail. In the southwest, the map shows the higher ground of Rose Hill, marked by its own Rose Hill Cem. This area maintains its rural character even as the southern edge reaches the outskirts of Shepherd, showing a persistent pattern of small-scale agriculture and timberland intersected by named bayous and lakes like Turkington Bayou and Stock Pen Lake.
