About this map

The Sabine River forms the winding border between Texas and Louisiana, carving out a complex landscape of wetlands and oxbows in the south-central portion of this map. This riverine environment is defined by secondary channels and backwaters such as Middle River, Wilson Lake, and the braided paths of Bee Slough and Big Slough. To the north, the terrain transitions into a more settled upland area around Bon Wier and the community of Fawil.

Family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds, including the Old Belgrade Cem and Belgrade Cem near the river, and several family-named sites like Sam Herrin Cem and Hughes Cem. The geography of the late 2010s shows a high density of private roads and county routes, such as Fox Hunters Club Rd, which crisscross the tributary systems of Church House Creek and Dempsey Creek.
