1963 Map of Fodice

About this map

The Davy Crockett National Forest dominates much of this landscape, where the wooded terrain is interspersed with small agricultural clearings and family-founded communities. Located along the Houston and Trinity County line, this 1963 survey shows the rural character of the area before modern development altered the density of its settlements. Small crossroads like Fodice and Shady Grove serve as local hubs, characterized by a high concentration of country churches including Mt Pleasant Ch and Thankful Ch. The mapping of cemetery sites such as Fodice Cem and Foster Cem provides essential spatial data for genealogical research. Waterways like White Rock Creek and Tanyard Creek define the natural drainage of the region, while the Ridgeway indicates a distinct geological feature amidst the timberlands.
