About this map

Hawkins sits at the intersection of local history and modern transport, positioned where several Texas county lines converge near the Sabine River. This 2019 survey captures the developed landscape around the Wood, Upshur, and Smith County boundaries, including the towns of Big Sandy and Winona. The topography is defined by significant water bodies such as Lake Hawkins, Bradford Lake, and Pinehurst Farms Lake, which break up the wooded terrain.

Genealogists can find several local burial grounds, including Kay Cem, Haney Cem, Varnon Cem, and the Jarvis College Cem. The map illustrates the region's infrastructure, from the prominent Old Quitman Rd to the grid of streets in Hawkins like Front St and Pacific St. These features collectively show a snapshot of East Texas where community life remains deeply tied to the many creeks, including Rogers Cr, Kay Cr, and Glade Cr, that feed into the river basin.
