This page uses Woodville as the hub for a Tyler County Texas Map, then follows the county north toward Colmesneil and Chester, south toward Ivanhoe and Warren, and through a dense network of East Texas creeks. Download the high-resolution A3 JPG map ZIP from the box below when you need printable or editable files; it contains separate county-reference, city-connections, terrain-and-water, and elevation maps.
Tyler County is easy to orient from Woodville, but its terrain is much more varied than a simple road map suggests. Colmesneil lies north of the hub, Chester is farther northwest near the county edge, and Ivanhoe is south. Warren and Wildwood continue along the southern side. Beneath those settlement labels, small streams cut through rolling western and central uplands before reaching lower terrain toward the east and southeast. The elevation map reports a countywide actual range from about 11 to 143 meters.

Woodville links the north-side communities with the U.S. 69 corridor
Woodville is the best place to begin on the county reference map. U.S. 190 crosses the Woodville area from west to east, while U.S. 69 provides the strongest southward reference toward Warren and Wildwood. Colmesneil sits north of Woodville on the central road corridor, and Chester is farther west near the county boundary. Those places create a simple framework before the smaller route labels are considered.
Ivanhoe appears south of Woodville, with route 287 labeled below it on the way toward Warren. Route 190 and 256 are both visible west of Woodville, and 255 is marked in the northern part of the county near the Colmesneil side. The reference map becomes much easier to read if U.S. 190 and U.S. 69 are treated as the first orientation lines, with the other numbered roads added only after the main town directions are clear.
The county outline and drainage pattern add another layer of information. The western boundary is comparatively straight, while the eastern edge has a much more irregular shape. Blue stream lines branch through nearly every part of the county, especially across the north and center. In the south, several longer creek valleys run in roughly parallel directions, hinting at the relief pattern that becomes clearer on the terrain and elevation maps.
Woodville is 6 miles from Ivanhoe and farther from the northern towns
The city-connections map uses Woodville as the hub and prints direct point-to-point distances to three other communities. Ivanhoe is about 6 miles south of Woodville, Colmesneil is about 9 miles north, and Chester is about 14 miles to the northwest. These are straight-line map distances rather than driving mileages, so actual road travel will depend on the route and exact starting location.
The CITY CONNECTIONS panel shows map values of 2,755 for Woodville, 1,680 for Ivanhoe, 642 for Colmesneil, and 156 for Chester. Those figures explain the ordering and relative display used in the graphic and should not be treated as guaranteed current population estimates. For geographic use, the most useful takeaway is the spacing: Ivanhoe is the closest of the three linked communities, while Chester is the farthest from the Woodville hub.
The surrounding county labels help place those connections in a larger regional frame. Jasper and Sabine counties appear to the east, Angelina County is to the north, and Polk and Hardin counties are on the western side. San Augustine County is labeled toward the southwest. With those outer references visible, Woodville’s central role and Chester’s near-boundary position become easier to understand.
Big Cypress Creek and small lakes define the southern drainage
The terrain-and-water map does not have one dominant named river running through the county. Instead, several creeks and small lakes provide the most useful references. Big Cypress Creek is a strong southwest-side channel that runs southward through a broad valley. Hickory Creek occupies another long southern corridor, while Horsepen Creek appears closer to the western boundary. These named channels help organize the lower half of the county.
Turkey Creek crosses the south-central interior, and Beech Creek is a prominent named drainage line farther east. Many smaller unnamed tributaries enter those valleys from the surrounding hills. The pattern is especially dense north and east of Woodville, showing that Tyler County’s water geography is a branching creek network rather than a landscape dominated by a few large rivers.
Several small lakes provide easy landmarks among the creek valleys. Lake Amanda and Frog Pond sit close together in the north-central interior. Farther southwest, Sutton Lake, Lake Tristan, and Lake Charmaine form a small cluster, while Lake Hyatt lies well to the south. Because these water bodies are separated rather than connected into one large reservoir, they are useful local references for different parts of the rolling terrain.
This layer is intended for geographic water and terrain reference rather than flood-risk analysis, parcel boundaries, navigation, water depth, or lake-management decisions. Its main value here is to show how the named creek valleys divide the rolling uplands and how the small lakes are distributed around the Woodville-centered road network.
Western uplands fall toward lower eastern and southeastern terrain
The elevation map reports an actual range of about 11 to 143 meters and a mean elevation of 61 meters. The strongest brown and orange high ground is concentrated in the west and west-central interior. Another pronounced high block appears in the north-central part of the county. By contrast, the eastern boundary and much of the southeast are broad green lowlands.
The western high ground is deeply divided rather than smooth. Narrow green valleys cut through the ridges around Big Cypress Creek and Hickory Creek, and similar low corridors extend through the central drainage network. Eastward, the brown ridges become less continuous and the lower green terrain expands. Comparing the water map with the elevation surface makes it clear why so many creeks follow long narrow paths through the interior.
This countywide elevation surface is designed for broad terrain comparison rather than parcel surveying, engineering, or construction design. It is useful for seeing why the western side looks more dissected, where the major creek valleys cross the uplands, and how the eastern side drops into lower terrain. Exact site elevation should be checked with detailed source data or a local survey.
Choose the map by whether roads, town spacing, creeks, or relief matters most
Use the county reference map when Woodville, Colmesneil, Chester, Ivanhoe, Warren, major road labels, and the county boundary need to appear together. The city-connections view is cleaner for comparing the direct spacing from Woodville to Ivanhoe, Colmesneil, and Chester. The terrain-and-water layer is the best place to trace Big Cypress Creek, Turkey Creek, Beech Creek, and the small lakes, while the elevation map makes the western uplands and lower eastern side easiest to compare.
The downloadable ZIP contains four separate high-resolution A3 JPG files for Tyler County: county reference, city connections, terrain and water, and elevation. You can inspect the lighter WebP versions in the article first and then use the larger JPG files for printing, classroom material, presentations, or an editable local-reference document.

Sources and data references
Roads, settlement locations, and the Tyler County boundary can be cross-checked with the U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line Shapefiles. Big Cypress Creek, Turkey Creek, Beech Creek, lakes, and other named drainage features can be checked against USGS National Hydrography, while terrain height data are available through the USGS 3D Elevation Program. Town distances, route references, named waters, and the 11–143 meter elevation range described above are based on the Tyler County maps supplied in this package.
