About this map

Lake Nacogdoches dominates the southern reaches of this survey, its waters reaching into the creek valleys of central Nacogdoches County. The landscape is characterized by a network of bayous and creeks, including Loco Bayou and Yellow Bank Creek, which drain the area surrounding Flower Mountain. Small rural communities like Nat, Winter Hill, and Red Flat serve as local anchors, connected by light-duty roads and an emerging infrastructure of gas development, evidenced by numerous Gas Well sites and a prominent Pipeline.

Family history is deeply rooted in the landscape through numerous small burial grounds and congregations. Researchers can find well-documented landmarks such as Turnip Seed Cem, Brouten Cem, and Brewer Cem. Religious centers like Scott Temple and Grayland Ch No 1 reflect the social fabric of these East Texas settlements during the early 1980s, providing a clear record of the area before modern expansion altered the local geography.
