About this map

Todd Mountain rises above a landscape defined by the winding course of the Sabine River and its intricate drainage network near the border of Wood and Smith counties. The 1960s terrain shows a distinct rural settlement pattern, with the community of Red Springs serving as a local hub south of the river while Crow and Fada occupy the northern uplands. The era’s industrial footprint is visible through scattered Oil Well locations and the infrastructure of the Missouri Pacific railroad.

Water management is central to this area, evidenced by the Old Sabine River Channel and the development of recreational and utility bodies like Overton Lake and Brumley Lake, the latter featuring a Fish Hatchery. Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks including Marshal Cem, St Mary Ch, and Bethesda Ch, which provide geographic anchors for family roots in this East Texas river valley.
