About this map

The Trinity River and Winters Bayou define this East Texas landscape along the border of San Jacinto and Liberty counties. The small communities of Shepherd, Rayburn, and Dolen anchor the region, connected by a network of farm roads and rural routes like FM 223. This map details a patchwork of marshes and bottomlands, including Bryants Marsh and the Grama Grass Bottom, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the coastal plain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Coley Creek Cem, Saint Clair Cem, and the Dolen Community Cem. Local transport and infrastructure are represented by the Lake Water Wheel Airport and family-named landmarks such as Boones Lake and Cain Ridge. The drainage system is particularly dense here, featuring numerous named waterways like Dry Cherry Cr, Phillips Cr, and Nevill Bayou.
