About this map

Hideaway and the surrounding Smith County landscape are defined by a complex network of residential developments and rural agricultural corridors. This 2010 survey illustrates the significant water management across the terrain, featuring Hide-A-Way Lake and its associated Hide-A-Way Lake Airport, alongside numerous smaller impoundments like House Lake and Powell Pond. The western boundary is marked by the course of the Neches River, while the central area is drained by Prairie Creek and its tributaries, including Chinquapin Creek.

Smaller settlements such as Mount Sylvan, New Harmony, and Wood Springs anchor the local road network, which is dominated by farm-to-market routes like FM 724. Genealogists may find value in the location of Hill Cemetery near the southern edge and Verner Cemetery further east. The map captures a period of modern rural habitation where established family-named landmarks and historic settlements persist alongside newer lakeside communities.
