About this map

The Angelina River and its intricate system of oxbow lakes, including Horseshoe Lake and Duck Roost Lake, define the western edge of this territory along the border of Cherokee and Nacogdoches counties. This riparian corridor is marked by extensive wetlands and sloughs like Duck Roost Slough, which stand in contrast to the agricultural and timber lands found further inland. Small rural settlements such as Douglass and Linwood serve as local anchors, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes.

Researchers will find a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Selman-Roark Cem and Black Jack Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical study. The presence of Taylor Ranch Airport near Beaver Cr indicates the continuing importance of private aviation in the rural landscape. Creeks such as Bingham Cr and Gibbons Cr drain the central plateau, illustrating the local drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in this part of East Texas.
