2016 Map of Chireno South

About this map

The Attoyac River carves a winding path along the boundary between Nacogdoches and San Augustine counties, serving as the central artery for this East Texas landscape. To the west, the community of Chireno sits near the northern edge, while the southern reaches are defined by the dense acreage of the Angelina National Forest. This 2016 survey illustrates a region where water and timber dictate the layout of roads and settlements, notably where the river feeds into the Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including Woolam Cem, Davis - Anderson Cem, and Saint John Cem. Historical crossing points such as Cottingham Bridge and natural features like Bullock Springs and B E Gartman Lake provide a clear view of the rural infrastructure. The map also documents named property such as O Bar Ranch, reflecting the enduring agricultural and ranching character of the Pineywoods.
