2003 Map of Harvey Creek

About this map

Angelina National Forest dominates this San Augustine County landscape, where the deeply dissected terrain of the Turkey Hill Wilderness meets the eastern shores of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir. The map documents a sparsely populated timberland region defined by its dense network of waterways, including Ayish Bayou, Turkey Creek, and Harvey Creek. Human settlement is concentrated in small communities such as White City and Macedonia, which are anchored by long-standing local landmarks like the Macedonia Cem. The presence of numerous family and community burial sites, including Nath Beck Cem and Crocker Cem, offers significant detail for genealogical research. To the southeast, the inundation of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir has reshaped the original drainage patterns of Cedar Creek and Little Creek, creating a complex shoreline that characterizes the modern geography of the area.
