2016 Map of Etoile South

About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates this East Texas landscape, where the waters branch into deep inlets and coves along the boundary of Nacogdoches and Angelina counties. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the protected timberlands of the Angelina National Forest, a terrain of creeks like Beech Cr and Shirley Cr that feed into the reservoir's main body. For genealogists and local historians, this survey preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Patterson Cem and Blue Spring Cem near Blue Spring. The southern half shows an intricate network of rural roads such as Lloyd Walker Rd and Palmer Ivy Rd, serving small residential clusters and recreational developments like Beachwood Blvd that line the jagged shoreline of the Big Slough.
