1992 Map of Lufkin

About this map

Deep pine forests and extensive river drainages define the landscape around Lufkin in the early 1990s. The massive Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates the eastern half of the sheet, its irregular shoreline reaching into the Angelina National Forest and meeting the Angelina River. The map details the region's industrial and rural foundations, showing the Angelina & Neches River RR and Texas Southeastern RR serving timber and transit hubs like Diboll. To the west, the Davy Crockett National Forest provides a buffer for smaller settlements such as Pollok and Centralia. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Beulah Ch, Prairie Grove Cem, and isolated communities like Manning. This survey also captures the local topography of Shawnee Prairie and the numerous bayous and creeks that feed the reservoir system.
