About this map

The Neches River forms a significant natural boundary in the northeastern corner of this Polk County landscape, accompanied by the distinctive Dollorhide Cutoff. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Piney Cr, Upper Sulphur Cr, and Bear Cr, which shape the rural settlements of Wakefield and Corrigan. This 2022 survey illustrates the transition from river bottomlands to the interior timberlands, where small family and community cemeteries like Wheeler Cem, Damascus Cem, and Union Springs Cem serve as vital markers for local genealogists.

Transport and commerce are anchored by the north-south corridor of Hickman Rd and the presence of the Anderosa Airpark. To the southeast, the community of Pleasant Hill sits near the confluence of Creeds Cr and Dry Cr, surrounded by a web of local routes like Shepherd Loop and Loving Ferry Rd. The map provides a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure and historical land divisions across the Angelina, Trinity, and Polk county lines.
