1963 Map of Pennington

About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest blankets much of this East Texas landscape, where the county line between Houston and Trinity counties runs through thick woodlands and small clearings. Settlement is concentrated around Pennington, where a network of light-duty and unimproved roads connects rural homesteads to the Pennington Cem and Roadside Park. The area is defined by its small country congregations, including East Prairie Ch, Cross Roads Ch, and Antioch Ch, many located near significant water features like Lake Pennington. The southern portion of the quadrangle reveals a landscape etched by numerous waterways such as Louisville Creek, Caney Creek, and Brownlee Creek, alongside a prominent pipeline corridor and various jeep trails that speak to the region's mid-century utility and timber character.
