About this map

Venable and Fords Corner anchor this San Augustine and Sabine County landscape, where the wooded drainage basins of East Texas are documented in fine detail. The area is defined by an extensive network of family and community cemeteries, including the Roberts Baptist Church Cem, Isaac Roberts Cem, and Parker Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for those tracing early settlers of the Piney Woods.

A portion of the Sabine National Forest occupies the northeast corner, while the terrain is carved by numerous watercourses like Ayish Bayou, Chinquapin Cr, and Chiamon Bayou. From the heights of Sixmile Hollow to the small-scale infrastructure of Fairway Farm Airport, the map traces the intersection of modern forestry and rural residential life. The presence of many small burial grounds like Sheffield Cem and Dickerson Cem scattered across the creeks suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed family homesteads.
