About this map

Sabine National Forest dominates the landscape of this East Texas quadrangle, where the dense woodland meets the sprawling western shore of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. The map illustrates the varied shoreline of the reservoir, highlighting numerous inlets and fingers such as Dry Creek and Lowes Creek. Settlements like Fairmount and Fairdale are situated along the forested ridges, with Fairmount serving as a notable local hub near the Sabine and Newton County line.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several community burial grounds, including the Clark-Dickey Cemetery and Mount Sinai Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by named elevations like Fox Hunters Hill and the Sand Hills, while the southern reaches feature the smaller Scrappin Valley Lake and the settlement of South Toledo Bend, where the reservoir waters begin to narrow into the river valley.
