About this map

The town of Centralia and the surrounding woodlands of the Davy Crockett National Forest define this East Texas landscape. Located along the boundary of Houston Co and Trinity Co, the area is marked by a complex network of watercourses including Cochino Bayou, Brushy Cr, and N Fork Cedar Cr. This 2016 survey captures a rural environment where land use is dictated by the timber and topography of the Piney Woods.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, which serves as a valuable record of early family settlements. These include Ivie Baptist Church Cem, Enon Cem, Mount Pisgah Cem, and the more remote Rice Cem located deep within the forest. Notable terrain features like Sugar Mounds rise above the drainage basins of Hager Cr and Dickey Cr, while the winding course of Cochino Bayou provides a primary natural boundary through the center of the map.
