1958 Map of San Augustine

Water plays a critical role in the region's geography, with City Lake providing a structured reservoir north of the city, while natural waterways like Palo Gaucho Bayou and Huana Creek drain the wooded terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a detailed record of family legacies, marking dozens of named burial grounds including Sublett Cem, McClelland Cem, and Daugherty Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several rural post-office sites reflects the changing transportation and settlement patterns of East Texas during this era.
