2022 Map of Kountze South

About this map

Kountze serves as the focal point of this Hardin County landscape, situated at the edge of the Big Thicket National Preserve. The town layout is anchored by the Hardin County Courthouse, with streets such as W Monroe St and Pecan St defining the local geography. To the west, the preservation of the Big Thicket maintains the native piney woods character, while drainage networks like Cypress Cr and Village Creek carve through the terrain. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Old Hardin Cem and Wheeler Cem, which are accessible via Old Cemetery Rd. These burial sites, along with the settlement at Nona, provide a framework for tracing the lineage of local families in this portion of Southeast Texas. The intricate web of local routes, including FM 1293 and Vaughn St, illustrates the ongoing integration of residential areas with the surrounding natural environment.
