2010 Map of Grand Bluff

About this map

The Sabine River dominates this Panola County landscape, carving a winding path marked by specific riverine landmarks like Shoemaker Bluff, West Camp Bend, and Twin Rock. This area of East Texas exhibits a complex network of wetlands and backwaters, including Wattle Duck Pond, Alligator Lake, and Jernigan Lake, which suggest a terrain defined by seasonal flooding and shifting watercourses. The local economy and land use are anchored by the Carthage Gas Field and small settlements like Grand Bluff and Horton. For those researching local history, the map provides precise locations for the Grand Bluff Cemetery and Crossroads Cemetery, alongside distinctive fishing and river spots such as Baker Fish Hole, Black Shoals, and Reed Hole. This detailed view captures the rural character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century, where industrial gas extraction exists alongside traditional river-bottom geography.
