About this map

The Sabine River defines the winding state boundary between Texas and Louisiana on this map, which tracks the expansive waters of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. This area of the Sabine National Forest shows a landscape influenced by both timber management and recreational development. Significant land divisions like Las Ormigas Grant Lot No 1 and Las Ormigas Grant Lot No 2 reflect the colonial land grant history that still shapes property lines today.

Evidence of local industry and community life appears in the clusters of Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit found on the Louisiana side near Ebarb. Rural centers such as West Hamilton Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch are established inland from the shoreline, while numerous points like Haleys Ferry Boat Ramp and the Ragtown Recreation Area show the reservoir's importance for local access. Genealogical details like a lone Cem near the river's western banks offer quiet markers of family history in this forested region.
