About this map

Sam Houston National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the mixed pine and hardwood woodlands of East Texas are dissected by numerous waterways including Huffman Cr, Yates Cr, and Big Cr. The northern reaches of the map are defined by the expansive Lake Livingston and the winding course of the Trinity River, which carves distinctive features like Simon Peter Bend into the terrain.

Settlement patterns in this portion of San Jacinto County are anchored by the communities of Coldspring, Camilla, and Shepherd. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, such as Mitchell Cem, Milby Hill Cem, and Rose Hill Cem, alongside a network of forest roads and trails like the Lone Star Trail Rd. This 2016 data reflects a modern era of recreation and conservation within the piney woods, balancing lakeside development with protected federal forest lands.
