2022 Map of Wells

About this map

Wells serves as the primary hub in this East Texas landscape, where the A & N RR and US Hwy 69 intersect at the northern edge of the Davy Crockett National Forest. The map documents a dense network of country cemeteries and rural roads that reflect generations of local settlement, including Simpson Cem, Durham Cem, and Holsomback Cem. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Neches River, which forms a complex boundary near Pine Island. Numerous small tributaries like Sapulpa Cr and Red Bayou drain the undulating woodlands. Local institutions such as Wells Sch and the Pine Island Ch are situated along the forest's edge, anchoring the small communities that thrive near the border of Cherokee, Angelina, and Houston counties.
