1951 Map of Crockett NE

About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates the landscape of this 1951 study, where the Forest Boundary carves through the timberlands of northeast Houston County. The historic Old San Antonio Trail cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, serving as a primary corridor for the dispersed rural settlements of the era. This path links the community of Belott with various family landmarks and social centers that defined mid-century life in the Piney Woods. Local history is anchored by a network of small churches and schools, such as Pleasant Hill Ch and Glover Sch, which suggest a close-knit agricultural society. Waterways like Rosy Bayou and Hickory Creek provide natural drainage through the rolling hills, while small family burial sites including Parker Cem and Grounds Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research into the families who inhabited these woods before the expansion of modern infrastructure.
