2016 Map of Hicksbaugh

About this map

Hicksbaugh sits at the heart of this East Texas landscape, where the dense hydrology of the Piney Woods defines the local geography. The area is dominated by the sprawling boundaries of the Big Thicket National Preserve, which encompasses significant portions of the drainage basins for Turkey Cr and Theuvenins Cr. This survey illustrates a quiet, rural network of forest roads and small family burial grounds that anchor the local genealogy of Tyler and Hardin counties. Scattered throughout the woods are sites such as Gardner Cem, Hester Cem, and the Baker and Nolan Cem near the eastern boundary. The map captures the transition between managed timberlands and protected wilderness, with long thoroughfares like Gore Store Rd and Bumstead Cemetary Rd cutting through the creek bottoms and wetlands of Thouching Cr and Beech Cr.
