2011 Map of Veach

About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates this East Texas landscape, where the waters of the Angelina River reach deep into the forested inlets of San Augustine County. The settlement of Veach sits inland from Veach Basin, surrounded by a complex network of creeks including Couchatana Creek, Lucas Creek, and Blackland Branch. This survey provides a precise look at the shoreline as it existed in the early 21st century, revealing how the reservoir has reshaped the local geography while leaving several community landmarks intact. For those tracing family histories in the Piney Woods, the map identifies several key burial grounds, including Lucas Cemetery, Williams Cemetery, New Hope Cemetery, and Coleman Cemetery. The High Point Lookout Tower remains a prominent navigational landmark overlooking the eastern ridges near Lane Creek and Norris Creek.
