About this map

Pinehill and the central crossroads of Long Branch anchor this East Texas landscape, which is defined by a dense network of seasonal creeks and drainage basins. The area’s geography is heavily shaped by the presence of Irons Bayou in the north and the expansive Lake Murvaul in the southeast. While the terrain is generally low-lying, elevations rise at Hog Mtn and Greems Mtn, providing distinct landmarks above the surrounding creek bottoms.

Local family history is preserved through several small burial grounds scattered across the county, including Buckner Cem near Pinehill and Roquemore Cem further east. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, from the winding Murvaul Cr to the marshy Hord Slough. This modern survey documents the contemporary road network, showing how established routes like FM-1798 and FM-348 connect these historic rural communities to the larger reservoir and surrounding woods.
