2022 Map of Pennington

About this map

Pennington sits at the intersection of local routes in a landscape defined by the transition from open prairie to the dense woodlands of the Davy Crockett National Forest. This East Texas terrain is deeply dissected by a network of waterways including Piney Cr, Louisville Cr, and Brownlee Cr, which drain toward the south. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of numerous family and community landmarks, such as the East Prairie Possum Walk Cem and the Pennington Cem. The inclusion of Lake Pennington and Westbrook Lake reflects the water management and agricultural needs of the region. The boundary between Houston Co and Trinity Co bisects the map, illustrating how local governance and property lines were established relative to the natural topography of the Piney Woods.
