About this map

The Sabine River carves a winding path along the state boundary between Texas and Louisiana in this mid-1980s survey. The landscape is defined by the river's dynamic history, evidenced by oxbows and cutoffs such as Evans Old River, Joe Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. Small settlements and family landmarks are scattered throughout the region, including the rural communities of Evans, Almadane, and Stringtown.

Transport and utility infrastructure is represented by a prominent Power Line cutting across the eastern parishes, while the natural drainage system is dominated by the Anacoco Bayou and numerous smaller tributaries like Mill Creek and Swindler Creek. Local history is anchored by a Cem located near Evans, providing a specific point of interest for genealogical research in this borderland territory where Newton County, Texas, meets Vernon and Beauregard Parishes in Louisiana.
