2022 Map of Hurricane Creek

About this map

Sabine National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where the dense woodlands of the Piney Woods meet the western reaches of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. This survey captures the rural character of the border between Sabine County and Newton County, defined by a network of creeks like Sixmile Creek and Hurricane Creek that drain through the timberland. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for locating established family landmarks and burial sites, including the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church Cemetery and the Clark Clarkton Cemetery near Clarktown Road. Small clearings in the forest reveal community hubs such as Six Mile Village and the private airstrip at Scrappin Valley Airport. The intricate system of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 111, highlights the ongoing intersection of public land management and local navigation in this secluded timber region.
