About this map

Groveton and the surrounding pine-timbered reaches of Trinity County appear here as a landscape shaped by both early industry and conservation. The eastern portion of the county seat is anchored by the convergence of N Main St and E First, while the rural outskirts reveal the site of Josserand, home to Josserand Memorial Park. This area, once a center for East Texas lumber production, is deeply integrated into the Davy Crockett National Forest, which blankets the terrain north of Woodlake.

Waterways like Kickapoo Creek and Piney Creek create a complex drainage network that defines the local geography. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Lacy Cem and Sumpter Cem marks the resting places of early settler families. The map also traces the winding courses of numerous family-named roads and branches, such as Gale's Br and Adams Spring Br, reflecting the area's deep-rooted agricultural and foresting heritage.
