1961 Map of Oakhurst

About this map

Oakhurst and the neighboring community of Enterprise anchor the northern reaches of this East Texas survey, where the heavy woodland of the Sam Houston National Forest begins to dominate the landscape. The passage of time is visible through an Old Railroad Grade running west of town, reflecting the region's logging and transit history. Several rural congregations and burial grounds, including White Hill Missionary Ch and Cleveland Cem, are scattered along the secondary roads and creek drainages. The East Fork San Jacinto River and its numerous tributaries, such as Cobb Creek and Johnson Creek, carve through the terrain, illustrating the dense hydrological network of San Jacinto County. Notable landmarks like the Raven Hill Historical Mon near Raven Hill provide specific points of interest for those researching local heritage or historical geography.
