1984 Map of Chambliss Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Chambliss Hill and Horsepen Hill rise above a densely dissected landscape along the boundary shared by Polk and Tyler Counties. This 1984 provisional survey illustrates a terrain defined by an intricate network of drainage, where major watercourses like Big Creek and Big Cypress Creek are fed by numerous family-named or descriptively named tributaries. The nomenclature of the area—ranging from Sawmill Branch and Pigpen Branch to Wolfpen Creek—suggests a history rooted in small-scale timber operations and livestock husbandry. The absence of major settlements emphasizes the rural character of the Big Thicket region, where the primary human footprint is found in the scattered road network and the Indefinite Boundary marking the county line. Notable minor landmarks such as Hubert Spring Branch and Treasure Branch provide specific points of interest for local historians and researchers tracing the geography of the East Texas woods during the late twentieth century.
