About this map

The timber and creek lands of Trinity County are anchored by Groveton and the nearby settlement of Westville. This landscape is defined by the drainage networks of Kickapoo Creek and Caney Creek, which feed into the managed waters of Upper Lake Avery and Lower Lake Avery. These reservoirs are secured by the Upper Lake Avery Dam and Lower Lake Avery Dam, reflecting modern water management in this historically wood-driven region.

Genealogists can find significant local history through the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the township and surrounding woods. These include Ellis Prairie Cemetery, Boontown Cemetery, and Dean Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers for the area's rural families. The map also traces the modern transport routes like FM-1280 and Old Us HWY 287, following the higher ground of Parker Ridge through the Piney Woods.
