About this map

The community of Pennington serves as the primary focal point of this East Texas survey, situated along the crossroads of FM-358 and 287. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where Brownlee Creek and Louisville Creek flow through the central terrain toward Little White Rock Creek in the south. These watercourses are vital to the local geography, supporting the creation of reservoirs like Westbrook Lake and Lake Pennington, the latter held by the Lake Pennington Dam.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds and smaller settlements. The map identifies both Pennington Cemetery and the more remote Possum Walk Cemetery to the east. The rural character of the area is further evidenced by the hamlet of Friendship and a dense network of forest and county roads, including Reese RD and Cutoff RD, which connect the scattered homesteads and timberlands characteristic of Trinity County.
