About this map

The Davy Crockett National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where the dense piney woods are dissected by a complex network of waterways like Cochino Bayou and Piney Creek. Settled clearings such as Nogalus and Centralia anchor the southern portion of the sheet, while Hagerville sits further north along the Houston and Trinity County line.

Evidence of the region's timber heritage is preserved through a Logging Railroad Grade and a localized Tar Kiln, reflecting the industrial patterns of the early twentieth century. Spiritual and communal life is well-documented through several small landmarks, including Old Ivy Ch, Enon Ch, and Calvary Cem. These sites, along with family-named landmarks like Stubblefield, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties within these timbered uplands.
