About this map

The Alabama and Coushatta Indian Reservation serves as a central cultural landmark in this mid-1980s portrait of East Texas. Bordered by the Neches River and Trinity River systems, the landscape is defined by the dense woodlands of the Big Thicket National Preserve and the John H Kirby State Forest. Industrial and community life is visible through the Livingston Oil Field and scattered timber settlements like Camden and Barnum.

Genealogists will find numerous family-centric landmarks including Bold Springs Cem and Camp Ruby Ch, alongside smaller rural schools and post offices. The map traces the movement of resources via the Southern Pacific railroad and major arteries like U S Highway 59. Significant water features, such as B A Steinhagen Lake and Big Sandy Creek, anchor the region's geography between the major hubs of Livingston, Woodville, and Jasper.
