1984 Map of Norwood

About this map

Angelina National Forest dominates this landscape in San Augustine County, where the dense piney woods are dissected by a complex network of creeks and bayous. The settlement of Norwood serves as a focal point near the forest boundary, accompanied by a local School and Cem that speak to the area's rural community roots. Drainage patterns are well-defined, with Ayish Bayou and Black Slough meandering through the eastern portion of the sheet. The terrain is marked by family-named watercourses such as Steptoe Branch and Hardikner Creek, while small crossroads like Union Grove and Macune provide evidence of early inland Texas settlement. This 1984 provisional edition highlights the enduring character of the forest and its intermittent clearings, preserving the locations of timber-country landmarks and the winding paths of Perkins Creek and Venado Creek.
