1984 Map of Hemphill
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The county seat of Hemphill serves as the focal point for this 1980s-era study of East Texas timberlands and water resources. The landscape is dominated by the dense canopy of the Sabine National Forest, a terrain characterized by numerous natural springs like Turpentine Spring and Smiley Spring that feed into a complex network of creeks. To the east and south, the presence of the Toledo Bend Reservoir reflects the mid-century transformation of the Sabine River valley, which reshaped the geography of local settlements. Local history is anchored by East Mayfield and the community of Yellowpine, where the Yellowpine Lookout Tower stands as a landmark of forest management. The map details the drainage patterns of the Mc Lemore Hills and identifies distinct water features such as Housen Bayou and Yellowpine Lake, illustrating the rural character of Sabine County before significant modern expansion.
