About this map

Sam Houston National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the E Fork San Jacinto River and its numerous tributaries, including McCombs Cr and Palmetto Cr, drain the wooded terrain. The settlement of Oakhurst sits at the northern edge along the Highway 190 corridor, serving as a gateway to the forest.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Cleveland Cem near the Walker and San Jacinto County line, and Center Hill Cem to the east. The map shows a transition from the structured residential clusters near Oakhurst and Grace Lake to the more isolated road networks like Raven Hill Rd and Felix Currie Rd that penetrate the national forest. The distribution of these family-named roads and cemeteries reflects the deep-rooted rural community structure of East Texas in the mid-2010s.
