2013 Map of Chireno South

About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates the lower half of this landscape, its expansive waters fed by the Attoyac River and numerous tributaries such as Lick Cr and Spears Cr. The map captures a mix of developed timberland and riparian bottomlands between the small settlements of Chireno in the north and Goodwin to the east. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial sites, including Woolam Cem, Davis Cem, and Saint John Cem, reflecting the early rural settlement patterns of Nacogdoches County. Significant infrastructure connects these communities, notably the Cottingham Bridge crossing and the intersection of FM 95 and FM 1277. The presence of Bullock Springs and named creek branches like Peterson Br highlights the hydrological network that has shaped land use in this part of East Texas.
