About this map

The Sabine River serves as the focal point of this 1985 survey, defining the border between Louisiana and Texas where the Toledo Bend Reservoir meets a complex system of sloughs and bayous. The landscape is heavily influenced by water management and conservation, featuring the Normal Pool Elevation 172 and a nearby Power Plant and Spillway. Settlement patterns are sparse and rural, with small communities like Haddens and Hunter situated east of the reservoir near the Sabine Parish and Vernon Parish line.

Local history is preserved in the placement of several rural landmarks, including the Scott Cem and churches such as Mt Olive Ch and Toledo Mission. The presence of the Sabine National Forest and Louisiana State Park Site 15 suggests a region dedicated to timber and recreation, while features like Packer Swamp and Deep Slough illustrate the low-lying, riparian terrain that characterizes the Sabine River basin during this era.
