About this map

Hicks and Forest Grove serve as the primary landmarks in this rural landscape of Lee County, where a complex network of county roads and creek drainages defines the local geography. The area's history is anchored by the Harmony Cem in the northern portion, a vital point of reference for genealogists researching family roots in this corner of Texas. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as the E Yegua Cr, which receives flow from several named tributaries including Allen Cr and Briar Br.

Evidence of the local economy and land use is visible through features like Oil Field Rd, signaling the presence of energy extraction alongside traditional agriculture. A dense web of numbered county roads, such as Co RD-314 and Co RD-418, connects dispersed homesteads and farms. These thoroughfares, including the named Silver Springs Rd, trace the natural contours of the land around the winding Pin Oak Br and Harvey Br.
