About this map

The Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates this East Texas landscape, where the waters of the Angelina River are contained by the engineering of the McGee Bend Dam. This 2003 revision, based on earlier topographic data, illustrates the recreational and infrastructure development along the shores of the Angelina National Forest. Public lands managed by the Forest Service and the Corps of Engineers are clearly delineated, featuring a network of facilities including Ebenezer Park (COE) and Twin Dikes Park (COE) with their associated docks and boat ramps.

Away from the shoreline, the topography rises toward Mc Gee Hill and Hi Truett Hill, while the residential enclave of Rayburn Country stands out as a primary settlement. The map documents the drainage patterns of several tributaries such as Beef Creek, Alligator Creek, and Hog Creek, providing a detailed look at the interface between the managed timberlands and the reservoir’s indented coastline.
