About this map

Sterne-Hoya Historic District and the Zion Hill Historic District anchor the northern reaches of this East Texas survey, where the historic core of the city meets the campus of Stephen F Austin State Univ. The landscape transitions from these established urban neighborhoods toward more industrial and aviation-oriented land use to the south and west. The presence of the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot and Hayward Junction underscores the area's long-standing connection to rail commerce, while the A L Mangham Jr Regional Airport reflects mid-century infrastructure growth.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by a network of waterways including Bayou La Nana and Morral Bayou, which cut through the piney woods. Genealogists can find several smaller burial sites preserved in the rural periphery, such as Bonaldo Cem, Wisner Cem, and the Christian Cem. Local landmarks like Fredonia Hill and Orton Hill provide topographic variety in an area otherwise characterized by timberland and small lakes like Fern Lake and Mize Lake.
