 Ratcliff Lake, now a United States Department of Interior recreational site, was the millpond for the Four C. The Texas Southeastern Railroad laid track from Lufkin to haul out the lumber.The town of Ratcliff was separated from the Four C by a fence, built to discourage the mill workers from spending their money outside the company town.The 120,000 acres were in time exhausted, and by 1920, the mill shut down.
