2013 Map of Harvey Creek

About this map

White City and the small settlement of Massa anchor this 2013 survey of the Texas piney woods region. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Ayish Bayou, Couchatana Cr, and Sandy Cr, all draining toward the southern reaches of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir. This topography reveals the deep roots of the local community, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Pisgah Cem, Crow Cem, and Macedonia Cem. The presence of landmarks like Turkey Hill and the winding Turkeynhill Rd provide geographic orientation for those researching family history in San Augustine County. The map details the transition from high ground into the marshy lowland basins of Caney Cr and Tilde Cr, illustrating the relationship between the regional hydrology and the long-standing road networks like HWY 83.
