2013 Map of Appleby

About this map

The town of Appleby and its surrounding rural landscapes are defined by an intricate network of creeks and bayous in this part of East Texas. Key water features like Bayou Carrizo, Bayou La Nana, and the sprawling Naconiche Cr carve through the terrain, while the Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir indicates more modern water management efforts. The map reveals a settlement pattern of small communities including Pisgah and Shady Grove, connected by a web of county roads and state farm-to-market routes like FM-1878. Family and local history researchers will find valuable landmarks such as Moss Cem and Post Oak Cem, alongside dozens of named country lanes. The geography here is a classic representation of the Piney Woods region, where residential clusters like Carrizo Creek Ests began to interface with traditional timber or agricultural lands as the 21st century progressed.
