About this map

Jacks Creek and Big Cypress Creek anchor this section of Polk County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber-access routes. The drainage patterns of Horsepen Creek, Little Hickory Creek, and Hickory Creek illustrate the low-lying topography of East Texas just before the turn of the decade. A dense grid of local roads, many bearing family names, suggests a history of rural settlement and agriculture.

Researchers will find several interesting landmarks such as Midway Cemetery Rd and Race Track Rd, which point to established community hubs and local recreation. The presence of Timber Rd and Timber Rd 13 highlights the region's long-standing connection to the lumber industry. Other named thoroughfares like Buddy Lloyd Rd and Driskell Rd provide specific geographical markers for genealogists tracing local families across these creek-divided lands.
