2016 Map of Colita

About this map

Colita sits at the heart of this East Texas landscape, where the boundary between Trinity Co and Polk Co cuts diagonally through dense creek drainages and piney woods terrain. The settlement pattern is defined by rural corridors such as Colita Loop and Perkins Ranch Rd, with the Bethel Cem serving as a significant genealogical marker for the local community. The area is heavily influenced by the hydraulic network of Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries, including Steam Mill Cr and Cedar Cr. To the south, the map captures the northern reaches of Lake Livingston, a major geographic feature that reshaped the local topography and access points like Wells Landing Rd. The presence of Carmona Lake in the northeast corner further illustrates the importance of water management in this region's development and land use.
