About this map

The Neches River meanders through a landscape defined by its intricate wetlands and timbered heights in Anderson County. The settlement of Neches sits in the northwest corner near Daly Mountain, while the southern reaches of the map show the smaller locales of Jarvis and Herring. This geography is shaped by the river's dynamic floodplain, which has created a series of distinct water bodies such as Alligator Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Dead Water Lake.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks including Caldwell Cemetery and White Oak Cemetery, located near White Oak Creek. The terrain transitions from these low-lying sloughs, such as Buzzard Slough, to prominent rises like Flint Hill and White Mountain. Small-scale water management is evident through features like the Lake Dogwood Dam and Killion Lake Dam, which control the flow of local tributaries like Hurricane Creek and Stills Creek as they feed into the primary river system.
