About this map

The confluence of the Neches River and the Angelina River dominates this East Texas landscape, where the meandering waterways feed into the expansive B A Steinhagen Lake. The terrain is defined by a complex network of sloughs and bottomlands, including Mulberry Flat Slough and Bee Tree Swamp, which separate distinct landmasses like Big Pine Island and Little Pine Island. Along the northern boundary, the Angelina National Forest preserves the woodland character of the region, while landmarks such as Lynch Hill and Pace Hill provide relief from the surrounding wetlands.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial sites within this river-bound territory, notably Rawls Cem, Farrell Cem, and Seale Cem. Small clearings like Johnson Flats and ridges such as Frank Camp Ridge offer evidence of localized settlement patterns amidst the riparian environment. The map also traces various country roads and state routes, including FM 2799, which navigate the area's many oxbow lakes such as Old River Lakes and Barrow Lake.
