2016 Map of Spurger

About this map

The settlement of Spurger serves as the central hub of this East Texas landscape, positioned just west of the Neches River where the boundary between Jasper Co and Tyler Co follows the river's winding course. Much of the northern terrain is dedicated to the Big Thicket National Preserve, a protected area of dense woodlands and wetlands characterized by an intricate drainage system including Beech Cr, Mill Cr, and Little Beech Cr. A network of rural routes like FM 1013 and the Big Thicket Trl connect the residential clearings to the surrounding timberlands. The mapping of Turner Br and various country roads illustrates the persistent rural character of this region, where forestry and conservation efforts define the modern land use patterns alongside long-established residential pockets.
