2004 Map of Groveton East

About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where the town of Groveton sits as a pocket of settlement surrounded by timberland and creek bottoms. The 2004 revision reveals a rural geography defined by its watercourses, including the meandering Piney Creek and Upper Kickapoo Creek, which divide the piney woods. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the map documents small communities and religious centers such as Josserand and Woodlake, along with several rural houses of worship like St Paul Ch and New Hope Ch. The prevalence of Gravel Pits and numerous logging roads, such as Sawmill Road and Lacy Road, underscores the area's ongoing connection to the timber and resource extraction industries. Resting between the forest and the creek beds are historical markers of the past, including the Josserand Cem and Sumpter Cem, preserved amidst the modern forest management boundaries.
