2010 Map of Evadale

About this map

The Neches River winds through a complex system of sloughs and oxbow lakes in this Jasper County landscape, defining the character of eastern Texas at the start of the 21st century. High ground is marked by features like Brushy Bluff and Wiess Bluff, while the low-lying basin is a labyrinth of water bodies including Twin Lakes, Gentry Lake, and the distinctly named Big Mac Lake. The settlement of Evadale serves as a central hub, supported by the Temco and Lillard areas. Cultural markers like the Craig Cemetery and the Evadale Fire Lookout Tower provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. This era shows a landscape where industrial footprints and transportation routes like FM 1131 and the Evadale Landing Strip coexist with the dense, water-saturated terrain of the Bellrose Slough and The Cutoff.
