About this map

Kennard serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, where a network of rural roads and forest service routes connects small communities and family landmarks. The settlement of Colthorp and the area near Allen Chapel sit in the northern reaches, while Fog Town is tucked away to the east. A high concentration of burial grounds, including the Kennard Community Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, and Corinth Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogists tracing families in Houston County.

The terrain is defined by a dense web of waterways, most notably the South Fork Cochino Bayou and its numerous tributaries like Elm Creek and Wallace Creek. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the drainages of Piney Creek and Lynch Creek, leading toward the Nogalus Lookout Tower. This 2011 survey captures the area's balance between private holdings, such as the Flying S Ranch Airport, and the expansive forested tracts that characterize this part of the state.
