About this map

The Sabine River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this 1950s study, revised in the late 1960s to account for the impact of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. The map illustrates a complex landscape of river meanders and sloughs, including Horseshoe Slough and Crossway Slough, which defined the local geography before major hydrological changes. Small rural communities like Toledo and Haddens are documented alongside vital social landmarks such as Mt Olive Church and Freedom Rest Church.

Tracing the border between Louisiana and Texas, the survey captures the region's transition as woodland revisions were noted within the reservoir area. Cultural indicators for genealogists include the Scott Cemetery and Toledo Cemetery, while industrial history is preserved through a dismantled railroad line. The confluence of Bayou Toro and the main river highlights the intricate drainage network of the Sabine National Forest during this era.
