2010 Map of McGee Bend

About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates this landscape, having significantly altered the geography of the Angelina River and its surrounding tributaries by the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting this massive waterway, including the Sam Rayburn Dam and numerous recreational sites like Ebenezer Park Campground and Twin Dikes Park Campground. South of the reservoir, the terrain rises toward McGee Hill and Hi Truett Hill, where a network of rural roads and county routes connects the settlements of Sam Rayburn and Powell. For local historians and genealogists, the inclusion of Townsend Cemetery and McGee Cemetery offers specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this corner of San Augustine County. The intricate shoreline of Ayish Bayou and Little Tiger Creek highlights the complex intersection of the managed water system and the natural river bottom drainage.
