2016 Map of Lake Nacogdoches South

About this map

Lake Nacogdoches and its surrounding woodlands define the landscape of this East Texas region, where the borders of Nacogdoches, Cherokee, and Angelina counties meet. This survey highlights the complex drainage system feeding into the Angelina River, characterized by the winding Bayou Loco and the Old River Channel. The settlement of Alazan sits near the eastern edge, surrounded by local landmarks like Alazan Lake and Bonaldo Creek. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites throughout the area, including Eden Cemetery and Watson Cemetery near the lake's western shores, and Gravel Ridge Cemetery further east. Much of the southern terrain is protected within the Angelina National Forest, where a network of rural roads like Gravel Ridge Road and Wide Road connect scattered family-named features and local landmarks such as Tank Johnson Lake.
