About this map

The timberlands of Polk County are defined by a network of creeks and small family burial grounds. The settlement of Leggett serves as a local hub, situated near the western edge of this territory where the landscape transitions into a complex of drainage basins including Alexander Cr and Milton Cr. To the northeast, Seven Oaks anchors a corridor of named roads like Old Hwy 35 N, reflecting the area's rural transportation evolution.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of cemeteries scattered through the woods, such as the Nelson Henry Rice Cem and Jones Prairie Cem. These sites, along with others like Carrington Cem and Oates Cem, mark the legacy of early homesteads. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the meandering course of Big Sandy Cr and the secluded Red Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected terrain typical of this part of East Texas.
