1960 Map of Echo

About this map

The Sabine River winds along the border of Texas and Louisiana, defining a landscape dominated by shifting waterways and low-lying ridges. This 1960s survey documents the complex hydrology of the region, featuring intricate oxbows and cutoffs such as Jackson Cutoff, Horseshoe Lake, and Swift Lake. The map reveals a river-dependent environment where prominent high ground is named for early inhabitants or geographical features, notably Niblett Bluff, Morgan Bluff, and West Bluff. These bluffs provided essential stability for settlement and navigation in an area otherwise characterized by the vast Tupelo Swamp and numerous sloughs.
