About this map

Nacogdoches serves as the hub of this East Texas survey, where the southern reaches of the city meet the wooded drainage basins of the Pineywoods. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses, including Bayou La Nana, Bonita Cr, and Moral Bayou, which weave through the terrain surrounding established neighborhoods like Fredonia Hill and Orton Hill. Educational and infrastructure landmarks are prominent, notably the southern campus area of Stephen F Austin State Univ and the A L Mangham Jr. Regional Airport to the west.

Rural history is preserved through scattered family and community landmarks, such as Wisner Cem, Bonaldo Cem, and King Moore Cem. Small water bodies like Muckleroy Lake and Orton Lake reflect the local hydrology, while the presence of Nacogdoches Springs points to the area's long-standing importance as a water source. The map captures the transition from urban streets to rural routes like Old Douglass Rd and Union Bluff Rd.
