About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline carving deep into the timberlands of East Texas. The reservoir’s northern reaches, including Buck Bay and Needmore Point, illustrate the modern flooding of the Angelina and Sabine river systems. Amidst these waters, the map preserves the locations of several upland burial grounds that predate the reservoir, such as Parker Cem and Lakey Cem, which remain tucked within the protected boundaries of the Angelina National Forest.

To the east, the Sabine National Forest borders the settlement of Brookeland, where development like Lakeland Rd and Meigs Rd meets the edge of the wilderness. This survey provides a look at the intersection of three counties—San Augustine, Sabine, and Jasper—showing how local roads like FM 1751 and Need More Road Point Rd navigate the complex peninsulas and creek drainages that define this modern lakeside region.
