About this map

Swift and Melrose anchor this 2010 depiction of the East Texas landscape, where the dendritic drainage patterns of the Neches and Angelina river basins define the local topography. This area is characterized by a dense network of tributaries, including Moss Creek and Amaladeros Creek, which cut through the region's undulating terrain. For those investigating the cultural history of Nacogdoches County, the presence of the Pilgrim Cemetery near the northern boundary provides a specific point of reference for genealogical research.

Transportation routes such as Jamesville trace the historical movement between rural settlements. The map also documents several smaller watercourses like Oil Springs Branch, Puenta Suelas Creek, and Rector Creek, reflecting the importance of water access in the settlement of these woodland communities. These features collectively illustrate the enduring rural character of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
