About this map

The Sabine River forms a winding western boundary for this Louisiana-Texas borderlands landscape, defining a terrain of oxbow lakes and dense riparian marsh. Meandering loops have created a string of named water bodies including Carter Lake, Alligator Lake, and Big Eddy Lake, which sit alongside the active river channel. Moving inland, the survey reveals a transition from these wetlands into upland areas marked by the traces of the regional timber industry. Numerous stretches of an Old Logging Railroad Grade cut through the forest, intersecting with State Highway No 143 and State Highway No 287. Local social landmarks such as Duetts Ch and Clarks Cem appear near the drainage of Shoats Creek, providing key points of reference for genealogists and researchers of the Beauregard and Calcasieu Parish line.
