2022 Map of Porter Springs

About this map

Porter Springs serves as the focal point for this landscape in Houston County, characterized by a complex network of bayous and creeks that drain the East Texas terrain. The topographic detail reveals how water shapes the land, with the winding course of Hurricane Bayou and Big Cr defining the lowlands. This area is particularly significant for genealogical research, as it contains numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Wesley Chapel Cem - East and Wesley Chapel Cem - West in the north, and the Elisha Clapp Cem further south. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the early twenty-first century, showing the M Y Ranch Airport alongside established routes like FM 2076 and FM 132. Landmarks such as Gary Hill and various small lakes like Skalicky Lake and Wirt Lake provide additional points of reference across this agricultural and forested region.
