About this map

The Sabine River carves a complex, meandering path across this landscape, forming the natural boundary between Upshur and Smith Counties. The town of Big Sandy serves as a central hub, where the intersection of major roads like W Broadway St and S Tyler St anchors the local community. Further east, the small settlement of Wilkins sits near the river's floodplain, while the area around Waters Bluff to the southwest reveals a legacy of rural habitation near the water's edge.

Local landmarks and water features are abundant, from the Ambassador College Reservoir to the elevations of Pinnacle Mtn. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Hoover Cem, Chilton Cem, and Barber Cem. The map also details specialized locations such as the Gladewater Hunt and Fish Club Lake and ALERT Field, reflecting the diverse recreational and utility land use across the East Texas terrain.
