1997 Map of Oakhurst
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Oakhurst serves as the primary settlement within this portion of the Sam Houston National Forest, situated near the boundary between Walker and San Jacinto counties. The landscape is defined by the dense network of tributaries feeding the East Fork San Jacinto River, including Palmetto Creek and Mc Combs Creek. This 1990s revision reveals a deep layer of local history preserved within the forest, marked by numerous small congregations and burial grounds such as White Hill Missionary Ch, Center Hill Cemetery, and Hoby Church. The presence of the Raven Hill Historical Monument and the Oakhurst School suggests a well-established rural community that persists alongside modern forest management. Navigational features like the Star Ranger Trail and Palmetto Park provide a clear view of how this timbered region was utilized for both administrative and recreational purposes during the late twentieth century.
