2003 Map of Platt

About this map

The Angelina River and the expanding waters of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominate this landscape on the boundary of Nacogdoches and Angelina Counties. The 2003 revision reveals a region defined by its timber and water resources, with much of the northern and central terrain protected within the Angelina National Forest. Small rural settlements like Platt serve as quiet anchors in an area crisscrossed by numerous seasonal waterways, including Boggy Slough and Board Tree Slough. Cultural landmarks such as Victory Ch and Saints Rest Ch are scattered throughout the wooded uplands, providing valuable points of reference for local family history. The presence of a significant pipeline and the utility-focused Water Well Road illustrates the modern infrastructure integrated into this heavily forested East Texas environment.
