2011 Map of Alba

About this map

Alba serves as the primary hub of this East Texas landscape, where the convergence of several county roads and the proximity to the Lake Fork Reservoir define the local geography. The map documents a patchwork of small communities and rural intersections, including the namesake settlements of Ginger, Bright Star, and Hogansville. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a dense network of waterways, with Franks Creek, Big Creek, and Leatherman Creek draining southward toward the Sabine River. For those tracing local heritage, the inclusion of the Magee - McCord Cemetery and Turner Cemetery provides specific points of interest. The area’s character is shaped by its transition from wooded creek bottoms and private lakes like Woods Lake to the expansive waters of the reservoir in the northeast, illustrating the post-war development of water management and recreation in the region.
