About this map

Huxley sits on the western shore of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, where the state line between Texas and Louisiana follows the submerged channel of the Sabine River. The terrain is defined by the extensive backwaters and wetlands of the Sabine National Forest, including numerous named sloughs such as Soto Saline Slough, Tiger Lake Slough, and Charley Buck Slough. This landscape reveals a complex network of bayous and creeks, including Bayou Blue and Brushy Creek, which drain into the reservoir.

Transport patterns are characterized by forest service roads and local routes like FM 3184 and Wrights Landing Road, reflecting the area's dual identity as a timber-rich wilderness and a recreational lakefront. The presence of Browns Bend and Horseshoe Slough illustrates the winding, prehistoric path of the river before its impoundment, providing a detailed look at the interface between the East Texas Piney Woods and the vast reservoir system.
