About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates the landscape of this 1963 survey, where heavy timberland is bisected by a network of seasonal streams and traditional settlements. The community of Trevat serves as a northern anchor, while the small hamlet of Sulphur sits further west, near a local gravel pit. The map documents a rural social fabric maintained through landmarks like Sulphur Springs Ch and the isolated Wagner Hill Cem.

Evidence of the region's industrial and logistical evolution is clear along the southern boundary, where an Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to a modern pipeline. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Piney Creek, Alabama Creek, and Little Caney Creek, which together carve a complex topography of ridges and bottoms. Many areas remain accessible only via a Jeep Trail, indicating the enduringly remote character of this Trinity County timber country during the early 1960s.
