About this map

The Sam Houston National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of San Jacinto and Polk Counties, preserving a snapshot of the region as it transitioned in the mid-20th century. To the north, the waters of Lake Livingston have begun to alter the traditional drainage of Rocky Creek and Mill Creek, while the Trinity River continues its winding course through the fertile Simon Bottom and past Simon Peter Bend.
