1984 Map of Jacks Creek North

About this map

The Tyler Co Polk Co line bisects this landscape of timbered creek bottoms and industrial extraction. In the mid-1980s, this area on the border of Tyler and Polk counties was defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Big Cypress Creek and Horsepen Creek, which drain the undulating terrain. The presence of a Pumping Station and several Pipeline corridors suggests the importance of utility infrastructure in this rural stretch of East Texas. A cluster of Gravel Pits and a specific Gravel Pit near Little Hickory Creek indicate active surface mining operations during this era. The map provides a detailed view of local drainage patterns, tracing the paths of Jacks Creek, Kimball Creek, and Woods Creek through the thicket. These topographical details offer a clear record of the land's transition from natural riparian zones to managed resource extraction sites.
