About this map

Cow Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Caney Cr and Tiger Cr, dominate the low-lying terrain of this Southeast Texas landscape. The convergence of three counties—Jasper, Newton, and Orange—defines the northern boundary of the map, while the southern edge follows the developed corridors of Vidor and Orange. This era shows a mix of established rural settlements like Mauriceville alongside modern residential pockets such as Maple Crest Acres and Lakewood.

Genealogists will find interest in localized burial sites like Singleton Cem and Linscomb Cem, which remain preserved amidst the expanding suburban infrastructure. The transportation network is a central feature, anchored by the E Railroad St and historic thoroughfares like Texla Rd and Old Buna Rd. Extensive wetland systems, most notably the Sawgrass Marsh, illustrate the persistent ecological character of the Texas coastal plain even as human settlement intensifies around the major highways.
