1984 Map of Kirbyville

About this map

Kirbyville serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, revealing the town's layout and surrounding timberlands in the mid-1980s. Situated near the Jasper Co Newton Co line, the settlement is defined by a traditional grid oriented toward the railway and local drainages. The landscape is intensely hydrological, characterized by a dense network of winding waterways including Boggy Creek, Trout Creek, and Slaydons Creek that carve through the piney woods. To the north, the small community of Bon Ami is identified, reflecting the region's history of lumbering and rural settlement. The presence of Kirbyville Airport south of the main town site highlights the infrastructure supporting this corner of Jasper County, while numerous family-named landmarks like Nichols Creek and Robinson Branch offer specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing the geographic footprint of area residents during this era.
