2019 Map of Chireno North

About this map

The Attoyac River serves as the primary natural boundary between Nacogdoches Co and San Augustine Co, winding through a landscape of creek bottoms and sloughs. This East Texas corridor is anchored by the settlement of Chireno in the south and the smaller community of Attoyac further north. The map reveals a deeply etched drainage system where Tupelo Gum Slough and Bog Cr feed into the main river channel, creating a mosaic of wetlands that have shaped local transport and land use. Genealogists will find several family and community landmarks, including Holmes Cem, Spring Ridge Cem, and Gethsemane Cem. The terrain rises toward the northeast at Pleasant Hill Rdg, overlooking the convergence of Big Iron Ore Cr and several smaller tributaries like Price Cr and Blue Cr.
