About this map

Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the eastern horizon of this landscape, its intricate shoreline creating numerous inlets and points along the Sabine County border. The settlement of Fairmount and the residential area of Hickory Ridge are focal points for local history, surrounded by a dense network of forest roads and creek systems. Family history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Fairmount Cem, Clark Dickey Cem, and Mt Sinai Cem, which are scattered throughout the piney woods and along old routes like Old Lake Rd.

The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages like Mill Creek and Clear Cr, punctuated by localized rises such as Fox Hunters Hill and the Sand Hills. In the north, specialized developments like Cedar Crst and Lakeland Cir illustrate the region's mid-century transition toward recreational and lakeside living, while the interior remains defined by forestry and traditional landholdings near Hickory Ridge Springs.
