The Neches River carves a winding path through the heart of the Big Thicket National Preserve, defining the boundary between Hardin and Jasper counties. This riverine landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous oxbows, sloughs, and cutoff lakes such as Franklin Lake, Black Cr Lake, and Wheeler Cutoff Lake. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Bear-Mans Bluff and Oak Bluff, which rise above the surrounding wetlands and marshes.
