2019 Map of Grand Bluff

About this map

The Sabine River snakes across this landscape, defining the boundary between Harrison and Panola counties. This river-dominated environment is marked by intricate water systems including Greer Slough, Caney Slough, and Water Gap Slough, reflecting a topography shaped by seasonal shifts and overflow. Small rural communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout the lowlands and bluffs, most notably at Grand Bluff. The map records several localized burial grounds such as Grand Bluff Cem and Crossroads Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogical research. Unique river features like Baker Fish Hole, Watt Shoals, and Shoemaker Bluff highlight the historic importance of the river for local navigation and subsistence, while the network of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 1794 connects these disparate riverside settlements.
