1959 Map of Bon Wier

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Sabine River serves as the winding boundary between Texas and Louisiana, carving through a landscape of dense bottoms and oxbow lakes such as Horseshoe Lake and Alligator Lake. In 1959, the area around Bon Wier and Belgrade was defined by its timber and petroleum interests, with the Bancroft Oil Field and Bear Head Creek Oil Field punctuating the wooded terrain. The Santa Fe railroad line crosses the river north of Caney Island, connecting the small settlements that dot the piney woods.
