2004 Map of Diboll

About this map

The Neches River meanders along the western edge of this East Texas survey, carving a complex landscape of sloughs and oxbow lakes like East Pine Island Lake and Brushy Lake. The industrial character of Diboll is evident in its large facility adjacent to the Angelina & Neches River Rr, reflecting the region's deep ties to timber and manufacturing. This economy is further emphasized by the presence of Fiberboard Lake and the vast Davy Crockett National Forest which occupies the western bank. Rural life is anchored by landmarks such as Ryan Chapel and the nearby Pine Valley settlement. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including McCarty Cem and Pleasant View Cem, while old crossings like Clarks Ferry hint at earlier transportation networks before the modernization of the local road system.
