About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates the landscape of this East Texas survey, its intricate shoreline creating numerous points and inlets across San Augustine County. The town of Broaddus serves as a local hub, situated near the intersection of several farm-to-market roads and the eastern reach of the reservoir. The map reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Lowery Cem, Smyrna Cem, and Harvey Cem, which are scattered throughout the wooded terrain and along the lake's edge.

Industry and recreation are represented by the Jackson Hill Lookout and the Shirley Creek Campground, while smaller settlements like Townsend remain connected by a network of rural routes including FM 1277 and FM 2923. Numerous creeks and branches, such as Indian Cr and Hog Br, drain the surrounding timberlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region before and after the reservoir's creation.
