2019 Map of New Waverly

About this map

New Waverly sits at the intersection of farm roads and forest in East Texas, serving as a gateway to the southern reaches of the Sam Houston National Forest. The landscape is a dense network of creek drainages including Gourd Creek, Little Caney Creek, and Winters Bayou. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites such as Mitchell Cemetery, Elmina Cemetery, and Jasper Cemetery, which are tucked away near the Hawthorne settlement and along Caney Creek. To the north, the terrain transitions into the national forest boundary where Griffin Lake and Walker Lake provide significant water features. The southeastern portion of the map reveals the transition from Walker County into Montgomery County, marked by timberlands and small clearings for residential development like Estates Airpark.
