Chronicle of Tyler County

Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of Timberlakes Development Company

During East Texas timber holdings and spring-fed lake subdivisions, Lake Ivanhoe & East Texas Subdivision Group organized Timberlakes Development Company (1962) to acquire, plat, and convey tracts across the Big Thicket pinelands and Neches River tributaries around Woodville. Indexed in Tyler County at Tyler County Deed Records Vol. 202, Page 8 (1963-02-27) & Vol. 203, Page 251 (1963-05-02), these conveyances govern title across Lake Ivanhoe Sections 3 & 4 and Highway 190/69 Utility Corridors (206+ Recorded Instruments in Vols. 202-204) and adjoining survey abstracts to the present day.

How Timberlakes Development Company Assembled and Conveyed Tyler County Tracts (1962)

The Tyler County grantor index records Timberlakes Development Company conveying interests out of Lake Ivanhoe Sections 3 & 4 and Highway 190/69 Utility Corridors (206+ Recorded Instruments in Vols. 202-204) (Deed Records Vol. 203, Page 251 (1963-05-02) & Vol. 204, Pages 579-590 (1963-07-15)) while embedding specific tract calls across Lake Ivanhoe Sections 3 & 4 and Highway 190/69 Utility Corridors (206+ Recorded Instruments in Vols. 202-204). Because East Texas timber holdings and spring-fed lake subdivisions relied on private corporate surveying, these recorded deeds serve as primary cartographic evidence for Tyler County land historians and surveyors.

“Conveyed out of the parent holdings of Timberlakes Development Company (1962) in Tyler County: Deed Records Vol. 203, Page 251 (1963-05-02) & Vol. 204, Pages 579-590 (1963-07-15).”

Chain-of-Title Mechanics: Explicit Right-of-Way and utility conduit easement...

Across Lake Ivanhoe Sections 3 & 4 and Highway 190/69 Utility Corridors (206+ Recorded Instruments in Vols. 202-204), deeds executed by Timberlakes Development Company (Deed Records Vol. 203, Page 251 (1963-05-02) & Vol. 204, Pages 579-590 (1963-07-15)) separated the conveyed surface parcels from retained corporate rights (Explicit Right-of-Way and utility conduit easements in gross (Vol. 202, Page 8) plus 10-ft perimeter utility/drainage strips across hundreds of subdivision lots). Long after active operations in 1962 concluded, those severed property interests endure as independent estates in the Tyler County Official Public Records.

“Subject to the express terms, exceptions, and reservations of Timberlakes Development Company recorded at Deed Records Vol. 203, Page 251 (1963-05-02) & Vol. 204, Pages 579-590 (1963-07-15).”
