About this map

Big Thicket National Preserve dominates the northern landscape of this Polk County region, where the dense hydrology of East Texas is on full display. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Big Sandy Creek and Menard Creek, which carve through the wooded terrain alongside several smaller tributaries like Meetinghouse Branch and Double Branch. These drainage patterns influenced the placement of early settlements and local industries, such as the Gravel Pit operations found near the rural community of Segno.

Local history is anchored by the small settlements of Holly Grove and Segno, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding homesteads and small cemeteries marked simply as Cem. A Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for forestry management, while the southern boundary near the Little Pine Island Bayou transition points to the vast timber and wetland resources that have historically driven the local economy.
