About this map

Big Thicket National Preserve occupies a significant portion of this Hardin County landscape, illustrating the conservation of the East Texas piney woods and wetlands. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Flat Cypress Cr, Cypress Cr, and Black Cr, which navigate the low-elevation terrain typical of this region.

A network of rural roads provides access to the preserve and surrounding private lands, including family-named and descriptive routes such as Rosier Park Rd, Hatcher Rd, and Foxhound Rd. The map also shows Bear Rd and Gannon Rd intersecting the central landscape. The 2016 data reflects a balance between modern road infrastructure and the preservation of coastal plain ecosystems, serving as a record of land use in this part of Texas during the early 21st century.
