About this map

The Sabine River snakes through this borderland, creating a complex hydrologic boundary between Louisiana and Texas. The river's historical shifts are evident in the presence of Evans Old River and Fowler Old River, oxbow remnants that mark former channels and now define the low-lying wetlands of the valley. Settlement is concentrated on the eastern side in Vernon Parish, primarily centered around the community of Evans and the village of Almadane.

Tracing the rural landscape reveals a network of parish and county roads serving timberlands and small family farms. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Evans Cem and Oak Grove Cem, while the terrain is deeply etched by numerous tributaries including Little Cow Creek, Mill Creek, and Yellow Bayou. The map illustrates a quiet, river-dependent economy where the land's character is still defined by the seasonal rise and fall of the Sabine.
