1963 Map of Groveton West

About this map

Westville and the western outskirts of Groveton anchor this landscape during a period when the timber industry and land management were well established in East Texas. Much of the area is enveloped by the Davy Crockett National Forest, where the topography is defined by the drainages of Caney Creek, White Oak Creek, and Fountain Creek. A notable information-gain detail is the Old Railroad Grade running through the northeastern sector, a quiet reminder of the extensive logging rail networks that once moved pine across Trinity County.
