About this map

Adams Bayou and Little Cypress Bayou weave through this section of the Texas coastal plain, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and established residential developments north of Orange. The settlement of Mauriceville serves as a primary hub in the northwest, while smaller communities like Lemonville, Peveto, and Stark are situated along the roadway network and rail corridors.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several key burial sites, including Wilkinson Cem near Kinard Estates and Parish Cem in Little Cypress. The map also captures the expanding residential footprint of Ridgecrest and Gum Gully, illustrating the modern transition of the area from rural timber and wetlands into a suburban extension of the county seat. Numerous local creeks, such as Cole Cr and Sandy Cr, further illustrate the complex hydrography of the region during this mid-2010s period.
