About this map

Bronson stands at the northeastern edge of this East Texas survey, where the town grid transitions into a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Angelina National Forest. The southwestern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling reach of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, with specific water levels noted at Normal Pool 164 A.S.L. 176. This intersection of managed timberland and man-made reservoir creates a distinct boundary between the settled areas and the conserved forest environment.

Local landmarks such as Tiger and Dickey reflect the rural settlement patterns typical of San Augustine and Sabine Counties. A dense network of waterways, including Chiamon Bayou and Sandy Creek, weave through the terrain, illustrating the intricate hydrology that feeds the reservoir. These labels, along with smaller features like Bobbitt Creek and Huckleberry Branch, provide a granular look at the topographic character of the region during the mid-1980s.
