About this map

Sam Houston National Forest lands dominate the northern reaches of this landscape, where the borders of San Jacinto, Montgomery, and Liberty counties converge. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and wetlands, including the branching reaches of Peach Cr, Jayhawker Cr, and Shell Br. These creeks feed into numerous named bodies of water such as Chapman Ponds, Big Pond, and Ward Pond, reflecting the low-lying, hydrologically active nature of the East Texas piney woods.

Small settlements and family landmarks are scattered throughout the region, providing important points of reference for local historians. Fostoria and Security sit along the primary east-west corridor, while Splendora and Midline anchor the southeastern corner near the Shady Run drainage. For genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites, including Security Cem, Morgan Cem, and Pin Oak Cem, often located near established routes like Morgan Cemetery Rd.
