About this map

Daingerfield and Hughes Springs anchor this portion of the East Texas piney woods as it appeared in the mid-1960s, with updates into the late 1970s. The landscape is a mosaic of family-named cemeteries and rural churches, reflecting generations of settlement along the winding courses of Black Cypress Creek and Rocky Branch. Resource extraction and industry are prominent, evidenced by the Black Mountain Mine, various Gravel Pits, and a Strip Mine located near the Texas and Northern rail line.

To the south, Daingerfield State Park surrounds a central lake, while the surrounding hills are punctuated by landmarks like the Black Mountains and the Lookout Tower. The transportation network is defined by the Louisiana and Arkansas railroad and a web of county roads that connect outlying communities like Whitmore. Education and local life center on the High Sch and parochial or neighborhood sites like West Side Sch and South Side Sch.
