2019 Map of Lake Nacogdoches South

About this map

Lake Nacogdoches dominates the northern reaches of this East Texas terrain, where the impounded waters of Bayou Loco meet residential developments like Cambridge Bay Ests. To the south, the landscape transitions into the protected timberlands of the Angelina National Forest, following the low-lying basins of the Angelina River and its Old River Channel. This area reflects the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Nacogdoches County, evidenced by several family and community burial sites such as Watson Cem, Eden Cem, and Gravel Ridge Cem. The community of Alazan sits at a crossroads of the regional road network, which includes S FM 225 and FM 2782. The complex hydrology of the region is further defined by various tributaries like Alazan Bayou, Bonaldo Cr, and Mill Br, which drain toward the larger river systems that mark the county boundaries with Cherokee and Angelina counties.
