1963 Map of Wolf Hill

About this map

The Neches River snakes through the center of this terrain, marking the boundaries where Angelina, Polk, and Tyler counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage, where Biloxi Creek, Johnson Creek, and Piney Creek feed into the river basin. Cultural history is preserved in a series of family-named burial grounds across the hills, including Page Cem, Havard Cem, and Futch Cem, often situated near small rural landmarks like Lambert Chapel. A prominent Wolf Hill Lookout Tower stands atop Wolf Hill, overseeing a region once heavily reliant on timber and rail transport. Evidence of this earlier industry remains visible through an Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northern and southern portions of the sheet, tracing old routes of extraction through the East Texas woods.
