2019 Map of Van Lake

About this map

The town of Van sits at the southwestern edge of this East Texas landscape, where the boundary between Van Zandt Co and Smith Co runs north toward the Sabine River. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network feeding into Village Cr and Rock Cr, punctuated by numerous named water bodies that suggest a history of local damming and water management. Clusters of larger water features like World Challenge Lake Number 1 and its neighbors dominate the southeastern corner, while smaller bodies such as Mosley Lake and Sky Lake are scattered through the central hills.
