1997 Map of San Jacinto

About this map

Sam Houston National Forest dominates this landscape on the boundary of Walker and Montgomery counties, as documented by the Forest Service in the late 1990s. The settlement of San Jacinto sits at the northern edge, near the Ebenezer Church and Little Zion School. The terrain is defined by the West Fork San Jacinto River and its numerous tributaries, including Sandy Creek and Caney Creek. To the west, the protected Little Lake Creek Wilderness remains largely undeveloped, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle touches the waters of Lake Conroe. Genealogists will find several community landmarks, such as Lee Cemetery, Farris Cemetery, and Union Hill Cemetery, alongside rural congregations like Union Grove Church and Farris Chapel. A lone Fire Lookout stands as a sentinel over the dense pine and hardwood stands of the forest interior.
