2019 Map of Norwood

About this map

The Angelina National Forest covers much of this Deep East Texas landscape, providing a preserved look at the timbered creek bottoms and uplands of San Augustine County. Small settlements like Norwood and Macune anchor the rural road network, which is defined by a dense web of local routes like FM 1277 and FM 1992. Numerous family and community cemeteries are scattered across the terrain, including the Maryland Cem and the Farrar - Nash Johnson Cem, offering significant markers for genealogical research. The hydrology is dominated by the winding course of Ayish Bayou on the eastern edge and a complex drainage system of named branches and creeks such as Steptoe Br and Black Slough. These watercourses reveal the traditional land use patterns where early settlement followed the fertile proximity of the bayous and their many tributaries.
