1958 Map of Westcott

About this map

Sam Houston National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this East Texas survey, where the heavy timber of the Piney Woods meets the open grasslands of Tarkington Prairie. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Tarkington Bayou and the East Fork San Jacinto River, which create a complex drainage network for the surrounding timberlands. Settlement is concentrated along the transport corridors, particularly near the rail junction at Shepherd and the small siding at Napier. Local history is preserved in several rural congregation sites and burial grounds, including Big Creek Missionary Ch and Lovett Cem. The Southern Pacific railroad and the Texas And New Orleans line provide the primary infrastructure, reflecting the region's reliance on rail for moving timber and agricultural products toward the Gulf Coast during the late 1950s.
