Everywhere Texas map

One specific is Angelina, Texas: Handbook of Texas shows it non-existent now. Was located about 8 miles north of Lufkin. You show it possibly (?) as a park in the town of Huntington about 10-12 miles E-SE of Lufkin.
Anyway, any suggestions on trying to isolate some of these vague locations?
I found a listing for Angelina Community College. I suppose from your comment that once upon a time I found a park labeled Angelina. That tells me that there are still some relics from the non-existent town. It seems that the historical association site could help in locating those. I think anything with the town name on it, even if the town doesn't exist anymore should count (as long as it's supposed to refer to a town by that name. "Angelina's BBQ" in Temple doesn't count for old Angelina near Lufkin.)

Apparently I missed an "everywhere" update. That map has now been updated.

Mark,
This is Mike, met you at Tinman's wrench party (my Valk was the "project").
Had a thought for the Google maps of Everywhere Texas. How about showing the locations that have photos with a different color (red?), then everyone can still see where the locations are.
And a typo correction, on the page of location photos, Rockport not Rockoort...
Also, I headed out to Del Rio for about 4 months to build fences. Trailering the Valk with me :-[, too much stuff to carry on it. But I 'spose the Victory & Kaw guys will be a good enough excuse for me too :P. Hopefully the work schedule will give me the chance to get some of the distant Everywhere pics. Val Verde and Bracketville should be a cinch. We're supposed to be making 6-12's, so further we'll just have to see. Maybe if the DFW folks make the Iron-Butt ride when I can get away... Hope to see notices posted on that if/when it happens.

Some corrections are pending, but suggestions as to a resolution of something we can't locate are most welcome. There's no hard and fast rule here, we're just getting pictures.
Something on the page not right? A town named or spelled wrong? Watch the video or poke around the net, find an alternate, and propose something. We're easy. Send me an email or post here. I'll make the suggested corrections with the next update!
Hey all,
We were riding up around Bastrop this weekend (side note, Bastrop Park Road 1C is a gorgeous ride) and decided to scoot down to Summerville and grab that picture. As it turns out, Summerville (interchangibly spelled Sommerville on GPS's, Google and the internet) unincorportated years ago. However, after much riding around and stopping and talking to the locals, we tracked down a Sommerville Farms sign and grabbed the pic. :) Daniel, it's on its way to you.
