About this map

The Neches River winds through the heart of this East Texas landscape, defining a terrain of creeks, branches, and springs that has long supported local communities and recreation. In the northeast, the sprawling reach of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir meets the forested uplands near Cyclone Hill. The map highlights several quiet spots of local significance, including the Boykin Springs Recreation Area centered around Boykin Spring Lake and the Boykin Lake Dam.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds, such as Boykin Cemetery, Rockwall Cemetery, and Carter Cemetery, which sit alongside numerous watercourses like Big Creek, Falls Creek, and Bouton Lake. The network of forestry roads and county routes, including US Forest Service Road 303 and FM-302, illustrates the area's continued reliance on the surrounding timberlands and natural springs.
