2019 Map of Texla

About this map

The intersection of Jasper, Newton, and Orange Counties defines this Southeast Texas landscape, where the low-lying wetlands of Sawgrass Marsh sit north of the developing outskirts of Vidor and Orange. Modern residential developments like Maple Crest Acres and Lakewood reflect the southward expansion of local communities, while the historic rural character remains evident in the numerous family-named roads and remote burial sites. Genealogists may find interest in the locations of Singleton Cem and Linscomb Cem, which are situated near the intricate drainages of Cow Bayou and Cole Cr. The community of Mauriceville anchors the northeastern portion of the sheet, serving as a transit point where Old State Hwy 62 and Old Buna Rd meet, illustrating the region's transition from marshy timberlands to organized settlements.
