2016 Map of Evadale

About this map

The Neches River carves a winding path along the border of Jasper and Hardin counties, defining a landscape of complex waterways and dense vegetation within the Big Thicket National Preserve. The settlement of Evadale sits as a primary hub where road networks like FM 105 Rd and Old Evadale Rd converge near the river's edge. This area is characterized by an intricate network of oxbows and named wetlands, including The Cutoff and the sprawling Turkey Baygall. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Craig Cem and distinct terrain features like Brushy Bluff and Wiess Bluff. The presence of Temco and Lillard further illustrates the scattered residential and industrial footprint in this timber-rich region of East Texas, while water bodies like Big Eddy Lake and Johnsons Eddy reflect the historical importance of the river's eddies and sloughs for navigation and local life.
