2022 Map of Village Mills

About this map

Big Thicket National Preserve anchors the northern reaches of this Hardin County landscape, where the dense timberlands of Southeast Texas meet a complex network of waterways. Small settlements and rural junctions like Village Mills, Honey Island, Lelavale, and Dies are scattered throughout the territory, connected by historical routes such as Old Bragg Rd and FM 1293. The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages including Flat Cypress Cr, Big Sandy Cr, and Village Cr, which carve through the piney woods. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several local burial grounds, including Holland Cem, Jordan Cem, and Bracken Cem, often situated near the family-named roads like Joe Allen Rd and Sutton Ln that trace the area's residential history.
