2010 Map of Deserter Baygall

About this map

Beech Creek Oil Field and the surrounding energy-producing landscape define this portion of Hardin County, Texas, at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The terrain is a complex network of industrial extraction and local settlements, where the South Hampton Oil and Gas Field and several divisions of the Silsbee Oil Field intersect with rural communities. The map highlights key landmarks for local history and genealogy, including the Hooks Cravey Cemetery near Fresenius and Gore Cemetery situated near Gore Lake. This area north of Silsbee is marked by its numerous roads such as Gore Store Rd and Old Kountze Rd, which provide access to timber and mineral resources. Natural features like Mill Creek and Dry Creek snake through the landscape, alongside the Smart School Fire Lookout Tower, reflecting a region balancing forestry management with a robust petroleum economy.
