2019 Map of East Hamilton

About this map

East Hamilton sits at the edge of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, where the state boundary between Texas and Louisiana follows the submerged path of the old riverbed. This recent survey captures the modern shoreline and the extensive protected lands of the Sabine National Forest. The landscape is defined by the transition from upland woods to the expansive water, with fingers of the reservoir reaching into deep inlets like Patroon Bayou and Boughs Cr. Numerous family burial grounds, including McGuire Cem, Alford Cem, and Liberty Springs Cem, are preserved throughout the forest and along the winding roads that lead to the water's edge. Local infrastructure is represented by routes such as W Carters Ferry Rd and Nine Mile Rd, reflecting the historical importance of ferries and early transit corridors in this border region.
