1950 Map of Crockett NE

About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates the northern and eastern portions of this Houston County landscape, where the dense timber of East Texas meets the historic route of the Old Antonio Road. This 1950 survey documents a rural topography defined by small community hubs such as Belott and the Glover Sch. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the headwaters of Rosy Bayou and the winding course of Hickory Creek. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of several family and community landmarks, including Grounds Cem and Parker Cem, as well as the New Energy Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch. The arrangement of these churches and cemeteries along the unpaved roads illustrates the early 20th-century settlement patterns that persisted in the region before modern development changed the local landscape.
