1920 Map of Huffman

About this map

The East Fork San Jacinto River and its intricate network of tributary gullies define this 1916 survey of the coastal prairie and riparian woodlands northeast of Houston. The small settlement of Huffman serves as a central point, situated where the Sour Lake Road meets the Beaumont and Western Road. The landscape is etched with local family and place-named features like John Young Gully, Shook Gully, and Red Gully, which cut deep drainage patterns toward Luce Bayou. A notable industrial presence is the Lumber R R, which winds through the northern timberlands near Scott Ranch, illustrating the importance of the logging industry to the regional economy during this era. The presence of Ferry Road near the river indicates established crossing points before modern bridging, while Cedar Bayou marks the transition toward the neighboring county boundary.
