2016 Map of New Waverly

About this map

The town of New Waverly sits at a crossroads in East Texas, where the landscape transitions from the dense woodlands of the Sam Houston National Forest in the north toward the open meadows of the Hawthorne area to the east. This survey captures a rural landscape defined by its creek systems, including Gourd Cr, Chicken Cr, and Winters Bayou. The area's genealogical history is well-preserved through numerous community burying grounds such as Saint Joseph Elmina Cem, Hill Cem, and Hardy Cem. Local infrastructure is marked by Estates Airpark and a network of named country roads like Vick Spring Rd and Longstreet Rd. The boundary between Walker County and Montgomery County cuts through the southern portion of the map, illustrating the regional reach of these small farming and forest communities.
