Nacogdoches County at a glance: towns and land
Appleby, Chireno, Cushing, and Garrison fill out the town list, and Nacogdoches is where the county seat sits. The map also labels unincorporated places, Redfield, Douglass, and Etoile among them. The county was organized in 1837 and named for Nacogdoche people, so some tracts carry a long chain of deeds. Census Bureau estimates show 65,375 residents in 2023 and around 946 square miles of land in the county. Neighborhood lots cluster near Cushing, while the countryside toward Etoile still holds larger parcels. Public ground such as Angelina National Forest appears as large unbroken blocks, and the private parcels around it draw hunters and recreation buyers.
Who uses the Nacogdoches County parcel map
For hobby-farm buyers near Appleby, the parcel map shows how a tract sits against its neighbors and the road. Unlisted land near Appleby sometimes turns up this way: an empty parcel, an absentee owner, and a polite letter. For a hunter with permission on one farm near Appleby, the parcel map shows exactly where that permission stops. Contractors working in Nacogdoches County use the map to find lot dimensions and neighboring owners before they stake a foundation or schedule a survey.
Acreage and vacant lot search
To use the Nacogdoches County GIS map for a vacant land search:
- Follow the roads out of Garrison with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Build a short list of open parcels around Appleby with owner names and acreage before you make any calls.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near Appleby can be hard to finance and build on.
- Pull up three or four similar parcels near Garrison and compare their land values.
- Ask the local offices serving Appleby about building permits and septic rules before you buy.

Reading property lines on the Nacogdoches County GIS map
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Appleby ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Texas rural land is described by original survey and abstract number, not sections and townships, and the Nacogdoches County appraisal map usually shows the abstract lines. If a neighbor's fence near Appleby and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Behind the map: land records in Nacogdoches County
