2016 Map of Carlisle

About this map

Lake Livingston dominates the landscape of East Texas, where the boundaries of San Jacinto, Trinity, and Polk counties converge. The shoreline is densely subdivided, particularly around the community of Onalaska and the Waterwood Parkway development, showcasing the shift from rural timberland to lakeside residential and recreational use. On the western shore, Point Blank and the smaller settlement of Carlisle sit among the piney woods, connected by winding farm-to-market roads like FM 980 and FM 356. The interior remains defined by its natural drainage, with water bodies such as Palmetto Creek, Harts Creek, and Mill Creek carving through the terrain towards the reservoir. High points like Liberty Hill and Darby Hill provide relief in an otherwise low-lying area, while the Liberty Hill Cemetery serves as a quiet marker of the region's long-established local genealogy.
