2019 Map of Davis Hill

About this map

The Trinity River snakes through this portion of Liberty County in a series of dramatic oxbows and cutoffs, creating a complex wetland environment dominated by features like Sevenmile Bend and Hanners Bend. The landscape is defined by the contrast between these low-lying fluvial features and the prominent elevation of Davis Hill to the west. This map reveals a transition from the dense sloughs and lakes of the river bottom—such as Old-River-Lake, Buzzard Roost Lake, and Jack Williams Lake—to the more structured settlements and land divisions seen at Page Tract. Local history is embedded in the naming of topographical landmarks like Tanners Bluff and the intricate network of residential roads including Coach Whip Bend and Hanna's Bend Ranch Rd, which reflect modern settlement patterns atop the ancient floodplain geology.
