1997 Map of Moore Grove

About this map

Sam Houston National Forest dominates this landscape in Walker County, where the dense timber of East Texas meets the northern reaches of Lake Conroe. In the late 20th century, this area maintained a mix of public recreational land and private ranching interests, such as Lost Meadows Ranch and M-Fodr Ranch. The map captures the interface between managed wilderness and small rural settlements like Bath and Moore Grove. Significant landmarks for local history include the Union Hill Cemetery and the Old Folks Home located near the eastern boundary. Water resources define the terrain, from the sprawling lakefront at the southern edge to interior bodies like Lake Raven within Huntsville State Park. The road network, including Possum Walk Road, connects these remote outposts and lookout towers, such as the Bath Lookout, which once served as vital points for forest fire surveillance.
