1958 Map of Mc Gee Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Angelina National Forest covers the majority of this East Texas terrain, shortly before the landscape was permanently altered by the creation of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir. The map shows the Mc Gee Bend Dam (Under Construction) on the Angelina River, a massive engineering project that would eventually submerge many of the riverfront features recorded here. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it preserves the exact locations of numerous family-named landmarks and resting places like McGilberry Cem, Hensarling Cem, and Blackland Cem that predate the flood pool. Small settlements such as Needmore and White City appear alongside historical sites like Zavala and former town centers like Veach and Millertown, offering a clear view of the rural community structure before the river's impoundment redefined the region's geography.
