About this map

The Sam Houston National Forest covers much of this landscape, where the wooded uplands of San Jacinto County meet the expansive waters of Lake Livingston. The map captures a transition from the dense forest to the managed timberlands and riparian corridors of the Trinity River basin. Several small settlements, including Camilla, Coldspring, and Shepherd, are documented alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Mitchell Cem and Milby Hill Cem.

Hydrological features dominate the drainage patterns, with Huffman Cr and Double-Lake Br winding toward the southern bayous. Of particular interest to local historians is the Trinity River's path through Simon Peter Bend and Simon Bottom, where the river forms the boundary with Polk County. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of how modern transportation corridors like FM 222 and FM 3278 interface with established natural landmarks and the growing residential developments along the lake shore.
