2016 Map of Westcott

About this map

Tarkington Bayou and the East Fork San Jacinto River define the wooded landscape of Liberty and San Jacinto counties. This modern topographic study shows the rural character of the area around Westcott, where residential roads like Friar Tuck Dr and Robin Hood Dr intersect with the Sam Houston National Forest. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial grounds including Big Creek Cem, Farley Cem, and Squier Cem. The transition from the dense forests to the more open Tarkington Prairie is clearly visible, showing how the local geography influenced the placement of older settlements like Shepherd and Napier along the northern rail and road corridors.
