1984 Map of Hortense

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The timbered hills and deep creek valleys of eastern Polk County define this landscape during the early 1980s. The small settlement of Hortense sits at a junction of rural routes, surrounded by a dense network of watercourses including Smith Creek, Coonlop Creek, and Bear Creek. To the east, the boundary with Tyler County follows the ridge lines between drainage basins like Caney Creek and Woods Creek. This provisional survey preserves the rural character of the Big Thicket region before modern expansion, showing isolated structures and logging roads that serviced the local pine economy. Numerous spring-fed tributaries, such as Massey Spring Branch and Mountain Branch, suggest a terrain historically shaped by seasonal water flow and timber harvesting. Other scattered locations like Kennedy and the headwaters of Mill Creek provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of these back-country Texas communities.
