2016 Map of Porter Springs

About this map

Porter Springs serves as the focal point for this section of Houston County, surrounded by a landscape of creek beds and family-named cemeteries that speak to the long-standing agricultural roots of the area. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Hurricane Bayou and Spring Cr, with various small reservoirs like Wirt Lake and Butler Lake punctuating the low-lying areas. Numerous family burial grounds such as Campbell Cem, Hagan Cem, and Mount Moriah Cem are scattered across the landscape, connected by a network of rural roads including Old Navaho RD and Beaver Creek RD. To the north, Gary Hill provides a slight rise in elevation, while the M Y Ranch Airport indicates modern land use alongside traditional ranching. The map details a quiet, rural Texas community where small waterways like Porter Br and Salt Br Cr feed into the larger bayou system.
