2019 Map of Zavalla

About this map

Zavalla serves as the focal point of this Angelina County landscape, situated at the junction of several regional routes that bridge the dense woodlands of the Angelina National Forest. The northeastern portion of the sheet is defined by the expansive Sam Rayburn Reservoir, where the water meets heavily timbered terrain and several named creeks including Hanks Cr and Pophers Cr. The distribution of family-named burial grounds, such as McNeil Cem, Ozias Cem, and Poland Cem, provides significant value for genealogical research, indicating the long-standing settlement patterns of this rural Texas community. Terrain features like Rocky Hill and Bald Hill offer landmarks among the drainages of Hawkins Cr and Sandy Cr, while localized water features such as Blue Spring and Ray Lake dot the landscape south of the town center. The network of county roads and forest service routes highlights the intersection of private landholdings and managed timberlands.
