About this map

The Neches River meanders across this East Texas landscape, forming a natural boundary between Houston, Cherokee, and Angelina counties. Much of the terrain is protected within the Davy Crockett National Forest, where a network of forest roads and creek systems like Sikes Cr and Larrison Cr define the rural character. This area is notably dense with small family and community burial sites, suggesting a deep history of early settlement and private homesteading. Of particular interest to local historians is the Mexican Prisoners Grave located near the river, a site that provides a somber connection to the region's 19th-century history. Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks including McKinney and Wells Family Cem and Walker Cem, while the presence of Malibu Club Lake indicates more modern recreational development along the river's edge.
