About this map

The Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the northern and eastern reaches of this East Texas landscape, where the waters of the Sabine River back into numerous creek drainages. Much of the land is preserved within the Sabine National Forest, creating a mosaic of timbered ridges and alluvial bottomlands. The settlement of Fairmount serves as a local hub, situated near the Willow Oak Recreation Area and the winding course of Lows Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites and landmarks, including Mt Sinai Cem and Weaver Cem, alongside the Fairdale Missionary Ch. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses like Clear Creek and Mill Creek, while the Sabine Co Newton Co line marks the southern boundary. This era shows the developed shoreline of the reservoir, including Hickory Ridge and various infrastructure such as a Radio Tower and Water Tank.
