About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates much of this Trinity County landscape, where the creek systems of Piney Creek and Kickapoo Creek define the local topography. This 1963 survey captures the area at a time when the Old Railroad Grade remained a prominent geographic marker across the timberlands. The settlement patterns are anchored by Groveton and Woodlake, with smaller communities and rural life represented by landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch and St Paul Ch.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the various burial grounds, including Josserand Cem, Sumpter Cem, and Lacy Cem. The presence of the Piney Woods Lookout Tower and multiple Gravel Pits reflects the area's ongoing relationship with its natural resources, from forestry management to industrial extraction. The map also traces various small water bodies like Rice Lake and Pine Lake, which serve as focal points within the dense woodland.
