About this map

Big Thicket National Preserve dominates this portion of the East Texas piney woods, protecting a network of wetlands and waterways in Hardin County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Cypress Creek and Flat Cypress Creek in the north, while Black Creek meanders through the southern reaches. This modern survey illustrates the conservation boundaries that overlap with local transportation routes, showing how the area is managed as a protected ecosystem. Rural roads such as Old Honey Island Rd and Cash Rd connect scattered residences and agricultural tracts to larger thoroughfares like FM 1003. The presence of numerous wetland markers across the map reflects the low-lying, hydric nature of the terrain characteristic of the Big Thicket region, providing a detailed look at the land use and natural hydrography of the area.
