2016 Map of Hurstown

About this map

Sabine National Forest covers much of this East Texas terrain, where the headwaters of numerous creeks and bayous carve through the landscape. Small rural communities like East Liberty and Neuville are centered around crossroads and family cemeteries, including Neuville Cem and East Liberty Cem. The topographic relief is defined by prominent features such as Big Hill, which rises above the surrounding forest between Rascal Creek and Bell Creek. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous burial sites across the countryside, such as Rather Cem, Adams Cem, and Biggers Cem. The drainage network is complex, with Patroon Bayou and its tributaries, including Wooten Creek and Crooked Creek, directing the flow of water through the wooded piney woods of Shelby County. Industrial and agricultural access is maintained through a network of forest roads and county routes like County Road 2130.
