2013 Map of Lake Nacogdoches South

About this map

Lake Nacogdoches dominates the northwestern portion of this 2013 survey, where residential developments like Cambridge Bay Est and Shoreline Dr suggest a modern shift toward lakeside living. This landscape is a complex network of waterways, with Bayou Loco and Alazan Bayou draining south toward the winding course of the Angelina River. The map reveals the deep-rooted rural character of Nacogdoches County through established communities such as Eden, Alazan, and Harmony. Local history is preserved in the location of the Alazan School and family-linked burial grounds including Eden Cem and Watson Cem. Further south, the meandering Old River Channel sits adjacent to the river’s main flow, indicating the dynamic nature of this riverine environment. The transition from the developed lakefront to the river lowlands illustrates the area's dual character of recreational growth and traditional rural settlement.
