2013 Map of Pluck

About this map

The Neches River winds through this East Texas landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands including Albritton Slough, Lamar Slough, and Deep Slough. The rural settlement of Pluck anchors the southwest corner, while the smaller locales of Eureka and Irving sit north of Piney Cr. This area is characterized by its transition from the river bottomlands to higher ground like Peach Ridge, where old family names and local history are preserved in sites such as Stryker Cem and Grimes Cem. Traces of earlier transportation and land use are evident in the naming of Loving Ferry Rd and the presence of School Br, suggesting the locations of former river crossings and community centers. The hydrography is particularly dense, with Georges Prairie Pond and Dollarhide Lake highlighting the low-lying, water-rich environment of Polk County.
