2019 Map of Kennard NE

About this map

The Neches River snakes across this East Texas landscape, forming a natural boundary between Cherokee and Houston counties within the Davy Crockett National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its dense hydrology and preservation of local history. Genealogical researchers will find numerous small burial sites scattered across the woodland, including the McKinney and Wells Family Cem and the Walker Cem. A particularly distinct historical landmark, the Mexican Prisoners Grave, is located near Big Slough Wilderness Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of waterways like Larrison Cr and Sikes Cr, while McCall Lake sits in the northwestern corner. The map also captures the meeting point of Angelina and Houston counties along the river's bend, illustrating how these old watercourses continue to dictate modern administrative boundaries.
