About this map

Zavalla serves as the central hub for this portion of Angelina County, positioned at the intersection of several key routes including State Highway 63. The landscape is characterized by its proximity to the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, which shapes the northeastern and eastern boundaries of the area. This modern survey illustrates the development of the timber-rich region, anchored by the Zavalla Forest Service Facility and a network of Forest Service roads that penetrate the surrounding woodlands.

Smaller communities and historical locales such as Boynton, Monterey, and Shawnee dot the map, many connected by roads named for local families like Sam Hawkins Rd and Mrs Weeks Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including McNeil Cem, Poland Cem, Ozias Cem, and Townsend Cem. The hydrography of the region is well-defined by numerous drainages such as Hanks Cr, Pophers Cr, and Long Prairie Br, which feed into the larger reservoir system.
