1954 Map of Bivens

About this map

The Sabine River snakes along the western border of this quadrangle, defining the state boundary between Louisiana and Texas. In this corner of Beauregard Parish, the landscape is shaped by the shifting course of the river, leaving behind landforms like Old River, Horseshoe Lake, and Alligator Lake. To the south, the settlement of Bivens serves as a local hub near Green Oak Ch and Boxwood Ch, while the town of Merryville sits in the north along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad line. The map reveals the area's timber history through several stretches of Old Logging Railroad Grade, showing how industrial transport once penetrated the dense network of tributaries such as Cypress Creek and Hoosier Creek well before modern highway development dominated the region.
