About this map

Hemphill serves as the focal point of this Sabine County survey, positioned amidst a network of creeks and bayous that define the East Texas landscape. The town's infrastructure is detailed alongside water management features like City Lake Number 1 Dam and City Lake Number-2. Further south, the settlement of Yellowpine is marked by the Yellowpine Ranger District Office and the Yellowpine Lookout, reflecting the importance of forest management in the region.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Toledo Bend Reservoir, where flooded timber and submerged channels are evident near the McLemore Hills. Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial sites such as Jones Cemetery and Conner Cemetery. The intricate drainage system, including Housen Bayou, Beef Creek, and Indian Creek, illustrates the natural hydrology that shaped local development and settlement patterns long before the reservoir's creation.
