1984 Map of San Augustine East

About this map

San Augustine serves as the focal point for this East Texas landscape, where the town's expansion meets the dense woodlands of the Sabine National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system defined by Ayish Bayou and Palo Gaucho Bayou, which carve through the terrain alongside numerous named tributaries like Ghost Branch and Frizelle Branch. The presence of small settlements and place names such as Calgary, Hawthorne, and Black Ankle reflects the deep-rooted local history and rural character of the region during the early 1980s. Water management and recreation are evident in the development of City Lake, while more isolated features like Lilly Lake and Bland Lake dot the forested areas. The boundary between Shelby and San Augustine Counties runs across the northern portion of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions of this timber-rich region.
