2016 Map of Voth

About this map

Lumberton and its southern neighboring communities of Loeb and Voth anchor this landscape along the Hardin and Jefferson county line. The region is defined by the winding course of Pine Island Bayou, which creates dramatic natural features like Horseshoe Bend and Suicide Bend as it snakes through the Big Thicket National Preserve. This environment of dense wetlands and branching waterways, including Village Slough and Sandy Slough, is contrasted by the steady southward expansion of the Beaumont suburbs. Modern infrastructure like the Eastex Fwy and the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal cuts through the older residential pockets of Rosedale and Bor-ley Heights. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Loeb Cem and Spell Cem, while those studying the local water economy can trace the B1 Canal and Br Canal systems.
