1997 Map of Rayburn

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

San Jacinto National Forest dominates the northwestern portion of this region, where the Corporate Boundary of Shepherd meets the sprawling woodlands. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Trinity River basin, featuring a network of seasonal and permanent waterways including Big Creek, Coley Creek, and Winters Bayou. The settlement pattern follows the drainage and early transport routes, with small communities like Stringtown, Dolen, and Rayburn interspersed among the creek bottoms. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Stringtown Cemetery and Smith Cem, while the presence of several Gravel Pits and an Airstrip suggests a mix of rural industry and utility. The transition from the high ground of Cain Ridge to the low Grama Grass Bottom illustrates the characteristic topography of the Liberty and San Jacinto county line area during the late twentieth century.
