About this map

The Sabine River bottomlands define the southern landscape of this East Texas region, where the borders of Harrison, Rusk, and Panola Counties meet. The industrial character of the area is rooted in energy and infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of Darco and the prominent Mine Haul Rd, which serves the local lignite mining operations. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins, including Long Slough, Round Lake, and the Hendricks Lakes scattered across the river's floodplain.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks in the eastern portion of the map, specifically around Roseborough Springs and the nearby Roseborough Cem. These sites, along with family-named routes like Roosevelt Taylor RD and Homer Cooper RD, offer a direct connection to the families who settled this area of Harrison County. The northern edge is bounded by the modern corridor of Interstate 20, contrasting with the more secluded reaches of Rogers Lake and the various creeks like Brandy Br and Starkey Cr that feed the Sabine watershed.
