About this map

The expansive waters of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominate this East Texas landscape, where the inundated valley of Ayish Bayou meets the piney woods. Published in the early 2000s, this survey reflects the recreational and natural resource management of the region, specifically where the Angelina National Forest and Sabine National Forest converge. The intricate shoreline is defined by numerous inlets and points, including the distinct Five Fingers and Needmore Point.

Evidence of the area's earlier settlement remains visible through small cemeteries like Lakey Cem and Hines Cem, which sit alongside contemporary developments like Parkway and the outskirts of Brookeland. The infrastructure of the reservoir era is clearly marked by various facilities such as San Augustine Park (COE) and Mill Creek Park (COE), while a significant Pipeline cuts across the northern terrain, indicating the ongoing industrial utility of the land.
