1949 Map of Clawson

About this map

The Angelina River forms the northern boundary of this landscape, separating Angelina and Nacogdoches counties as it winds through the Angelina National Forest. This 1949 survey, with revisions from 1977, details a rural Texas region defined by its timber and transit routes. The St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts diagonally across the terrain, linking small communities like Pollok and Central. Local genealogy is well-represented through several family-named landmarks, including the Gann Cem, Newman Cem, and Poskey Cem, alongside the Pollok Sch. The presence of an underground pipe line and a pumping station indicates the region's role in energy infrastructure. Numerous small tributaries such as Bodan Creek and Procella Creek drain into the river system, creating a varied topography of low-lying wetlands and upland woods.
