1973 Map of Weches

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Mission Tejas State Park and the deep woods of the Davy Crockett National Forest anchor this survey of the East Texas pineywoods. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Neches River, which forms a complex network of oxbows and swampy lowlands including Duren Lake, Forman Lake, and the Chain of Lakes. This topography supported a timber-driven economy, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade and Sawmill Lake. Settlements like Weches and the distinctively named Weeping Mary are joined by sites of local heritage such as St Thomas Chapel and the Easley Cem. The presence of the Indian Mound Nursery and the Neches Bluff Overlook highlights a region where conservation efforts and historical landmarks overlap within the dense forest canopy.
