	Sabine River (Texas-Louisiana) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river flows through an important petroleum-producing region, and the lower river near the Gulf is among the most industrialized areas of the southeastern United States.
		In northeast Texas, the river flows past Mineola, Gladewater, and Longview, the largest city on the river to southwest of Shreveport at the 32nd parallel, where it establishes the Texas-Louisiana boundary.
		The lower river saw the development of many oil refineries and chemical plants, leading to a degradation of the water quality, as well as on-going efforts to restore the quality of the river.

	Neches River Cotton Steamboats: A romantic interlude of frontier days
		Although the Neches River packets usually belonged to their skippers or to cotton brokers, it was not unusual for a leading cotton planter to double as a steamboat owner and captain in order to insure dependable transportation for his own and his neighbors' cotton.
		It was snagged and sank in the Sabine River at East Hamilton in 1867.
		During the river freshets of the last quarter of the century, the stream was filled with floating logs, and it became increasingly difficult for the sternwheelers to break through the log jams while sailing north in search of cotton.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The Neches River rises just east of Colfax in eastern Van Zandt County (at 32°30' N, 95°45' W) and flows southeast for 416 miles to its mouth on Sabine Lake, on the northeastern edge of Port Arthur (at 29°58' N, 93°51' W).
		In 1980 the population of the Neches River basin was reported at 506,300.
		Because the upper reaches of the Neches were usually too shallow for steamers during the dry season, farmers had to haul their goods to Bunn's Bluff on the lower part of the river.

		The Neches River and its principal tributary, the Angelina River, rise in a region of rolling hills and flow through an area of moderately to extremely hilly relief to the vicinity of Jasper and Woodville where the rolling terrain abruptly changes to the flat coastal prairie.
		The slope of the river in the vicinity of the dam sites is 0.7 foot per mile on the Neches River and 0.9 foot per mile on the Angelina River.
		Above their confluence, the Neches River has a drainage area of 3,819 square miles and the Angelina River has a drainage area of 3,574 square miles.

	Neches River, Texas
		This section of the Neches River is located along the Houston-Cherokee County boundary adjacent to Davy Crockett National Forest, northeast of Houston and southeast of Dallas.
		The river offers paddling opportunities for boaters of all skill levels provided you take into consideration the slow flow, occasional difficulties in access to and from the river and logjams which must be portaged.
		Access along the river is very limited and occasionally difficult because of the forested land and ground vegetation that populate somewhat steep and often muddy banks.

	The Neches River.
		The river was supposedly given its currebt name by Spanish explorer Alonso De Leon, who named it for the Neches Indians, one of the Caddoan tribes he encountered.
		Despite the efforts of the Spanish to colonize the river basin, white settlers did not enter the region until the l820s, When Mexican official General de Mier y Teran was sent to the region in 1828, he found numerous Anglo-American settlers, who used hand-driven ferries to cross the Neches and open the region to settlement.
		General Teran built a fort on a bluff of the Neches near present-day Rockland in Tyler County to serve as a Mexican outpost in the region.

		The river has adequate flow for paddle trips most of the time, though the flow may be slower and more shallow than normal during droughts or long periods without recent heavy local rainfall.
		The slow-moving river is excellent for fishing, with catfish and largemouth bass being most prevalent, though other species are to be found there.

	Ft. Teran Site Visit Jul 1998
		In view of the current level of the Neches River at the crossing where three major trails coming into Mexican Texas from the east, it was hard to believe that flat bottom steamboats actually navigated the river and a ferry for wagons, horses and oxcarts was needed to traverse it.
		Don informed us that this was the lowest level that he had seen the river in his 15 years in the area and that in fact on average the river was probably quite a waterway and obstacle, sometimes raging over its banks, in the days before dams and modern developments.
		Construction of a fort on the Neches River was a result of General Terán's inspection tour of East Texas in 1829.

	Thomas F. McKinney: Pioneer Neches River Keelboatman
		Almost immediately, he recognized that the high river bluff there could easily withstand the seasonal river flooding and tidal overflows and probably would be an excellent location to survey a townsite.
		During the 1840s, McKinney came to the relief of his friend, Joseph Grigsby of Port Neches, when the latter's estate was hard pressed for cash to repay bank loans.
		The Galveston trader bought back a 700-acre tract at Port Neches (where the Indian mounds and the present-day rubber industry are/were located) and acquired title to Grigsby's 155 town lots in the original townsite of Beaumont (of which Grigsby was one of the proprietors).

		Access to spawning habitat on the upper Neches River is prevented by the dam on Steinhagen Reservoir; however, suitable spawning habitat for paddlefish in the Lower Neches River may occur in the tailrace of Steinhagen Reservoir.
		However, little is known of the distribution, movements, and habitat preferences of paddlefish in the Lower Neches River and, in particular, nothing is known of the distribution and movements of paddlefish in, or near, brackish waters.
		To determine the proportion of the Neches River paddlefish population that may potentially be impacted by construction of saltwater barriers on the river, gill net catches from the upper river were compared to those from the lower river.
