2010 Map of Reklaw

About this map

The Angelina River and its intricate network of tributaries, including White Oak Creek and Mud Creek, dominate this East Texas landscape between the communities of Reklaw and Sacul. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its bottomlands and sloughs, such as Rutherford Slough and Boatman Slough, which contrast with local elevations like Beard Mountain. Significant for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of three distinct burial grounds: Looney Cemetery, Ward Cemetery, and Martin Cemetery. The area around Dextra shows a landscape of scattered lakes and dams, specifically Lucas Lake and its associated Lucas Lake Dam. Further south, the course of the river creates distinctive features like Pine Island and feeds into Jolly Lake, while the Flying M Ranch Airport serves as a modern waypoint in this largely rural expanse of Nacogdoches County.
