About this map

The settlement of Bronson anchors the northeastern corner of this East Texas survey, where the piney woods are defined by a dense network of creek drainages and timberlands. Stretching across the border of San Augustine and Sabine counties, the landscape transitions from the upland ridges near the town site to the low-lying waters of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir in the southwest. A significant portion of the southwestern quadrant is protected within the Angelina National Forest, where smaller tributaries like Copelle Cr and Briar Br feed into the expansive reservoir system.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the rural landscape, including Bronson Cem, Little Flock Cem, and McBride Cem. These landmarks, along with family-named features like Bobbitt Cem and Horton Cem, reflect the deep-rooted rural community structure that persists alongside the modern reservoir. The terrain is a maze of bayous and creeks, such as Chiamon Bayou and Sandy Cr, which shaped the early road patterns like FM 1751 and the Timberland HWY.
