About this map

The town of Hornbeck anchors this late-twentieth-century study along the boundary between Sabine and Vernon Parishes. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Toro Bayou, Brushy Creek, and the headwaters of West Anacoco Creek. Genealogy and local history are particularly well-represented by several family or community burial sites, such as Saint Lukes Cem, Beckham Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Ferris Cem.

The terrain shifts from the lowland bottoms of Monks Hammock in the south to more dissected uplands toward the north. Transportation and utility corridors are clearly marked, including a portion of Highway 171 and a significant north-south Pipeline, illustrating the infrastructure supporting this corner of Louisiana. This map captures the region just as modern developments were reaching the area, evidenced by sections marked Under Const near the parish line.
