Geographically, Boaddus is located in the southern part of San Augustine County , largely taken by the Angelina National Forest .

The center of the settlement is not far from the banks of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir - a large dam that dams the lower reaches of the Angelina River . Also not far from the center is the estuary of the Attoyac Bayou - a stagnant body of water , the course of which forms the border between the counties of San Augustine and Nacogdoches and which flows west of the village into a branch of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
