About this map

Lufkin anchors this portion of East Texas, showing the city's residential and commercial expansion into the surrounding Piney Woods by the early 21st century. The map details the transition from the dense urban grid of Lufkin to smaller outlying communities like Herty and Homer. Water management is a defining characteristic of the local landscape, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs and creeks including City Lake, Lake Myriad, and Robinson Lake.

Genealogists can locate several significant burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Glendale Cemetery, Whitehouse Cemetery, and the Garden of Memories Cemetery. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly marked by the winding courses of One Eye Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Paper Mill Creek, which highlight the area's natural topography and historical reliance on local waterways. Small landmarks like Lacey Field and various dams, including the Koon Lake Dam, provide additional points of interest for local historians.
