USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Trinity River and Neches River systems carve through the East Texas Piney Woods, anchoring a region defined by extensive timberlands and a complex rail network. Major hubs like Palestine, Lufkin, and Nacogdoches serve as centers of industry and transport, connected by the Missouri Pacific RR and Southern Pacific RR. This mid-century revision reflects significant landscape changes, most notably the emergence of massive water projects such as the Toledo Bend Reservoir and Sam Rayburn Lake along the eastern borders.
