2022 Map of Pineland North

About this map

Pineland and the smaller community of Magasco serve as the primary human settlements in this pocket of East Texas, where the landscape is defined by the dense timber of the Sabine National Forest. The area is intricately drained by a network of waterways including Housen Bayou, Pace Creek, and Beech Creek, flowing through varied terrain like Housen Hollow and along Rosin Ridge. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Pine Hill Cemetery, Lott Cemetery, and Jacks Cemetery. Transportation in the region relies on a mix of state routes and forestry roads like Forest Road 133, illustrating the area's continued reliance on the lumber industry and its rural character. The presence of Bethel Chapel Baptist Church and Pleasant Grove Cemetery provides further evidence of the deep-rooted community foundations throughout the Piney Woods.
