2016 Map of Kountze North

About this map

Kountze serves as the focal point of this Southeast Texas landscape, where the town grid transitions into a dense network of creek drainages and protected woodlands. The northern outskirts of the community are marked by the presence of Olive Cem and Daniels Cem, while the sprawling Big Thicket National Preserve dominates the northern half of the quadrangle. This area is defined by the winding course of Village Creek, which creates a complex hydrological system joined by numerous tributaries including Walker Br, Pea Monk Br, and Beaumont Cr. Historically significant sites like the William W. Hart Cem and McNeely Cem are tucked away near these waterways, offering clear evidence of early family settlements and burial grounds in the vicinity of McNeely Lake. The road network, including FM 420 and Gore Store Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by timber interests and rural residence.
