About this map

The Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the eastern and northern reaches of this East Texas landscape, where the inundated valleys of Tenaha Bayou and Flat Fork Creek meet the Louisiana border. Near the shoreline, the small community of Huxley serves as a focal point for a network of county roads and forest routes that weave through the piney woods. To the west, the Tenaha Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the undulating terrain between Pauls Creek and Grannies Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial grounds, including Strong Cemetery, Wimberly Cemetery, and Carroll Cemetery, which reflect the area's rural settlement history. The map also detail the Boles Field area and various water bodies like Mason Lake and Goodsons Lake, illustrating how the managed waters of the reservoir have reshaped the local geography while leaving traces of older landmarks.
