1958 Map of Broaddus

About this map

Suttons Mill and the surrounding piney woods of East Texas are documented here during a pivotal era of the mid-20th century. This territory, largely defined by the Angelina National Forest, shows a landscape organized around the Angelina River and its numerous tributaries like Attoyac Bayou. Small, dispersed settlements such as Etoile, Broaddus, and New Camp serve as the primary nodes of activity, connected by a network of unimproved roads and an Old Railroad grade that speaks to the region's logging history.
