2016 Map of Leggett

About this map

Big Sandy Creek and its many tributaries, including Menard Creek and Alexander Creek, dominate this part of Polk County, carving a network of drainages through the East Texas piney woods. Small communities such as Leggett and Seven Oaks anchor the western edge of the territory along the main highway corridor. The landscape is dotted with several family and community burial grounds, such as Carrington Cemetery and Pine Ridge Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this rural timber region. Local transit is defined by a dense web of county roads and loops, including Sanders Loop, Baskin Loop, and Oakdale Loop, winding between topographic features like Red Hollow. The settlement of Ollie sits further east, connected to the primary settlements by Upper Leggett Road and FM 942, reflecting the enduring rural character of the county.
