About this map

Angelina National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, preserving a detailed view of the terrain surrounding Zavalla. The map provides a high-resolution look at the complex hydrological network feeding into the Sam Rayburn Reservoir, including numerous named drainages like Pophers Cr and Hawkins Cr. This 2016 survey is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it meticulously identifies multiple family-named burial sites such as Townsend Cem, Ozias Cem, McNiel Cem, and Poland Cem.

The road network reflects the area's rural and timbered character, with many secondary routes like Dead Man Rd, Roy Barge Rd, and Sam Hawkins Rd navigating the timberlands. Local topography is defined by distinct elevations such as Rocky Hill, Bald Hill, and Moss Hill, which stand out against the lowlands near Blue Spring and Ray Lake. The transition from forest to the reservoir shoreline highlights the importance of water management and recreation to this Angelina County community.
