About this map

Reklaw and Sacul anchor this landscape where the boundaries of Rusk, Cherokee, and Nacogdoches counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Angelina River and its associated wetlands, including Rutherford Slough, Boatman Slough, and the quiet waters of Grassy Lake. This low-lying drainage system contrasts with the prominent rise of Beard Mtn to the southeast, illustrating the transition from river bottomlands to the wooded uplands of East Texas.

Local history is preserved in a network of family and community burial grounds such as Looney Cem, Ward Cem, and McKnight Cem. The map traces the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the runways of the Flying M Ranch Airport to the small settlements of Bermuda and Pine Island. This survey provides a clear view of the traditional land divisions and water-dependent geography that have shaped these neighboring counties for generations.
