1986 Map of Lufkin

About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this East Texas landscape, its sprawling shoreline reaching into the Angelina National Forest and Sabine National Forest. The region’s deep connection to the timber and rail industries is evident in the dense network of lines, including the Angelina & Neches River and the Texas South-Eastern railroads. In Lufkin, the convergence of major transit routes like U.S. 59 and the Southern Pacific tracks highlights its role as a regional hub, while smaller surrounding settlements like Keltys, Herty, and Diboll maintain their own distinct footprints.
