About this map

The settlement of Pennington straddles the Houston and Trinity County line in East Texas, serving as a gateway to the wooded expanses of the Davy Crockett National Forest. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by traditional rural infrastructure and a dense network of seasonal and permanent waterways. Several prominent water bodies, including Westbrook Lake and Lake Pennington, dot the terrain, while numerous tributaries like Piney Creek and Caney Creek drain the surrounding timberlands.

Local heritage is anchored by the Pennington Cemetery and the uniquely named Possum Walk Cemetery further east. The road network, including FM 358 and FM 2781, connects these points of interest with numerous family-named routes such as Dominy Road and Steve Antley Road. The map provides a clear record of the boundary between Houston and Trinity Counties, tracing its path through both forested tracts and developed farmsteads.
