2010 Map of Crockett

About this map

Crockett serves as the central hub of this East Texas survey, where the radiating lines of State Loop 304 and numerous county roads define the transition from urban center to the surrounding timberlands and pastures. The landscape is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Hurricane Bayou, Dutch Smith Creek, and Tantabogue Creek, many of which have been harnessed to create reservoirs like Traylor Lake and Northcutt Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, showing the Glenwood Cemetery North Sector, Rice Cemetery, and Hunley Cemetery among others. These sites, along with landmarks like Rice Chapel and the small settlement of Druso, reveal the long-standing community structure of Houston County. Beyond the town limits, the Houston County Airport and the distinct topographic notch of Possum Pass highlight the geographic features that shaped local transportation and commerce.
