About this map

Appleby and the northern reaches of Nacogdoches define this East Texas landscape, where modern road networks intersect an intricate system of creeks and bayous. The terrain is notably defined by the Attoyac Bayou and Bayou Carrizo watersheds, which create a dense drainage pattern across the quadrangle. Significant water features like Bayou La Nana and Waffelow Cr snake through the region, illustrating the hydrology that has shaped local settlement and agriculture for generations.

Local history is preserved at sites such as Post Oak Cem and Moss Cem, offering touchpoints for genealogical research in Nacogdoches County. The presence of the Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir reflects 20th-century land management efforts to control the flow of local tributaries like Mud Cr and Browns Cr. This 2016 survey documents the suburban expansion and rural road development surrounding the historic regional hub of Nacogdoches.
