2016 Map of Etoile North

About this map

The Sam Rayburn Reservoir defines the southwestern reaches of this East Texas landscape, where the waters meet the edge of the Angelina National Forest. This 2016 survey shows the community of Etoile situated near the reservoir's fingers, with residential developments like Lakeshore Dr and Blue Ridge Dr tracing the shoreline. The terrain is a network of small drainages, including Oil Springs Br, Moss Cr, and Lavaca Cr, which feed into the larger basin. Away from the water, the map documents rural landmarks essential for local history and genealogy, such as Pine Knot Cem and Miley Cem. The transition from the managed timberlands of the national forest to the riparian environments of Marion Slough and Walker Slough illustrates the varied ecology of Nacogdoches and Angelina counties.
