Big Thicket National Preserve Map

UNESCO designated Big Thicket as a Biosphere Reserve in 1981. The Big Thicket has no exact boundaries, but it is sort of contained within boundaries set by the Neches River, San Jacinto River and Pine Island Bayou.

There are small towns inside the Big Thicket. Most came into being to support the logging industry.
