About this map

The Sam Rayburn Reservoir and the Angelina River dominate this East Texas landscape, where the waters intersect with the dense woodlands of the Angelina National Forest. This 1984 provisional survey documents a region defined by its complex drainage network and recreation potential, anchored by Cassells-Boykin Park. The map reveals a transitional landscape where the boundaries of Nacogdoches, San Augustine, and Angelina Counties meet amidst a maze of winding waterways and heavily timbered terrain.

Local researchers will find significant water-level detail and numerous small tributaries, including Bayou Springs Creek, Oil Well Creek, and Mudd Creek. The presence of a Cem and family-named landmarks like Wilkes Branch provides valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing heritage along the river's edge. The industrial and natural history of the area is further evidenced by the naming of various branches and creeks that feed into the reservoir system.
