About this map

The Neches River and Angelina River converge in a dense network of sloughs and bottomlands within the Angelina National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by water, where named features like Big Pine Island and Little Pine Island rise above the surrounding wetlands. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as Lynch Hill and the eponymous Pace Hill, which provide relief from the intricate maze of oxbows including Big Boyd Lake and Old River Lakes.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Rawls Cem, Farrell Cem, and Seale Cem. The presence of Hopson Mill Cr suggests historical industry tied to the region's timber and water resources. The map traces a complex system of county roads, such as Co RD 20 and Co RD 37, that navigate the ridges and cross the various sloughs like Potato Pond Slough and Persimmon Pond Slough.
