About this map

The small community of Appleby serves as the focal point for this landscape in east Texas, where the northern limits of Nacogdoches begin to meet the timbered creek bottoms of the region. The map reveals a rural geography defined by its drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Bayou La Nana and Bayou Carrizo, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous branches like White Oak Branch and Red Branch. Smaller settlements such as Pisgah and Shady Grove are located along secondary roads, providing a view into the residential patterns of the early twenty-first century.

Water management is prominent in the northeast, where the Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Dam creates the Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir near Naconiche Creek. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies family and community landmarks like Moss Cemetery and Post Oak Cemetery, situated near Campground Creek. This 2010 survey documents the transition from suburban expansion near the county seat to the established agricultural and timber lands further north.
