STS068-174-171 Sabine River, Northeast Texas, U.S.A. October 1994
Featured beneath cumulus clouds are Cedar Creek Lake (upper right edge), a tributary of the Trinity River basin, in this forested region of northeast Texas and the dark wooded river bottom of the Sabine River into which feeds Lake Fork Reservoir. Elongated Lake Palestine (center of photograph) and a wispy smoke plume to its south are visible. A pattern of intersecting highways helps to locate Tyler, northeast of Lake Palestine. Southeast of Tyler are two small, irregular reservoirs--more westerly Lake Tyler and smaller Lake Tyler East. Apparent are some of the highway network within Longview northeast of Tyler (lower left corner) and lighter lakes southeast of Longview.
