About this map

Sam Rayburn Reservoir dominates this East Texas landscape, with its irregular shoreline creating a complex series of inlets and coves such as Veach Basin. The map documents the persistent rural character of San Augustine County, where the settlement of Veach and the community at White City are connected by a network of forest roads and state routes. The geography is defined by numerous watercourses feeding the reservoir, including Parker Cr, Couchatana Cr, and Blackland Br, which carve through the wooded terrain.

For genealogists and local historians, several community landmarks remain central to the map. Small burial grounds like Lucas Cem, Williams Cem, New Hope Cem, and Coleman Cem are preserved on the landscape, often situated near current or former roadways. Along the eastern edge, High Point Lookout offers a notable geographic marker above the reservoir's fingers, which reach deep into the surrounding timberland.
