2010 Map of Fairmount

About this map

The Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the northern and eastern portions of this Sabine County landscape, where flooded inlets reach deep into the wooded drainages of East Texas. The small community of Fairmount sits inland, near a network of local roads and the prominent Fox Hunters Hill. This area is characterized by its numerous watercourses, including Lows Creek and Mill Creek, which feed into the reservoir system. Local genealogy and history are anchored by several established burial grounds, such as Fairmount Cemetery, Mount Sinai Cemetery, and Weaver Cemetery, often located near these early settlements and family landmarks. Higher ground is marked by features like Hickory Ridge and the Sand Hills, providing a clear view of how the topography dictated settlement patterns before and after the reservoir's creation.
