2016 Map of Pluck

About this map

The Neches River defines the border between Polk and Angelina counties in this section of East Texas, weaving through a landscape dominated by complex wetlands and sloughs. This riparian environment is marked by features like Lamar Slough, Dollarhide Lake, and The Island, illustrating the shifting course of the river over time. Upland from the bottomlands, the map reveals the scattered rural settlement patterns of the mid-2010s, including small communities like Eureka and Conley's Corner. Cultural landmarks significant for genealogical research include Stryker Cem in the southwest and Grimes Cem in the northeast. The geography transitions from the wet lowlands of Georges Prairie Pond to the slightly higher ground of Peach Ridge, with a network of local roads such as Wolf Hill Loop and Red Ball Rd connecting these remote homesteads and timberlands.
