2022 Map of New Willard

About this map

Bold Springs and New Willard anchor a landscape defined by the winding tributaries of the Neches River basin. The area is characterized by a dense network of local roads and cemeteries, reflecting a long-standing rural community structure. To the north, Seven Oaks sits near the headwaters of Long King Creek, while the southern reaches near Marston are intersected by Alexander Creek and Kibbie Creek. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including Fairfield Cem, Peg Top Cem, and Oakdale Cem, often located near established homesteads or springs such as Kokernot Spring. The map documents a complex drainage system where Long Tom Creek and Sandy Creek meander through the central timberlands, illustrating the natural watercourses that have shaped Polk County's settlement patterns and local transit routes like FM 350 N and FM 942.
