About this map

The Neches River and Angelina River converge to form a complex hydrologic network in this corner of East Texas. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling backwaters of B A Steinhagen Lake, where intricate channels like Mulberry Flat Slough and Devils Slough carve around landmasses such as Big Pine Island and Little Pine Island. This terrain reflects a history of river-bound commerce and transit, anchored by the settlement of Bevilport near the Bevilport Reservoir.

Local family history is centered around quiet cemeteries and scattered river landings. Landmarks like Rawls Cem, Farrell Cem, and Seale Cem are preserved among the woods, while the Jasper State Fish Hatchery represents modern land use near the eastern boundary. From the heights of Pace Hill to the riverbank at Fox Landing, the map records a rural environment defined by its relationship to the water.
