About this map

Davy Crockett National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where the dense timberlands of Trinity and Angelina counties meet. The topography reveals a history shaped by the timber industry, marked by the winding routes of an Old Logging Railroad Grade and an Old Railroad Grade that once hauled pine and hardwood from the river bottoms. Small social and recreational outposts like the Pine Island Club, Neches Club, and Eason Lake Club appear along the waterways, suggesting a local culture centered on the seasonal rhythms of the river. The Neches River forms a complex boundary of oxbows and sloughs, including Big Bend Slough and Viney Bend. Near the center of the survey, Raville Siding and the New Church serve as solitary landmarks within the wooded terrain, providing valuable touchstones for researchers tracing mid-century rural settlement patterns in the Deep East Texas piney woods.
