2022 Map of Brushy Creek

About this map

Sabine National Forest dominates the western shore of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, where the modern border between Texas and Louisiana follows the submerged course of the Sabine River. This landscape is defined by the labyrinthine inlets of the reservoir, such as Tiger Lake Slough and Horseshoe Slough, which have inundated many of the original creek mouths. Near the settlement of Huxley, the map documents several family burial sites including Buckley Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Anderson Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing local families in Shelby County. The terrain transitions from the upland timber of the national forest to the complex wetlands of Browns Bend and Charley Buck Slough, where landings like Wrights Landing Rd and Fisher Landing Rd serve as modern access points to the water's edge.
