2019 Map of Pennington

About this map

Pennington sits at the intersection of FM 2781 and FM 358, serving as a focal point for the rural landscape spanning the Houston Co Trinity Co line. This part of East Texas is defined by its deep woods and network of creeks, much of which is protected within the Davy Crockett National Forest. The map provides a clear picture of local land use, from the managed timberlands of the forest to the private lakefronts of Lake Pennington and Westbrook Lake. Genealogists will find the locations of the Pennington Cem and the distinctly named Possum Walk Cem particularly valuable for tracing local family histories. The drainage patterns of Little White Rock Cr, Brownlee Cr, and Caney Cr reveal the natural topography that has influenced road placement and property boundaries in this region for generations.
