About this map

The small community of Chinquapin and the crossroads at Rebecca anchor this landscape in San Augustine County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of creek branches. The map highlights a rural infrastructure tied closely to ancestral sites, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds including Redlands Cemetery, Sheffield Cemetery, and Dickerson Cemetery. These locations, along with Head Cemetery and Parker Cemetery, provide essential spatial data for genealogists tracing local families in the East Texas piney woods region.

Waterways like Chinquapin Creek, Caney Creek, and Tebo Creek wind through the terrain, occasionally passing through named landforms such as Sixmile Hollow. The distribution of small settlements like Venable, Conville, and Maxey Town reflects the historically dispersed nature of the local timber and agricultural economy. Roadways such as Old Roberts RD and FM 1751 link these remote outposts to the larger regional network, while specialized local names like Shingle Machine Branch hint at past industrial uses of the local timber resources.
