About this map

Sabine National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where the rising waters of the Toledo Bend Reservoir meet the winding Sabine River along the Louisiana border. The settlement of Huxley sits near the reservoir's edge, surrounded by a network of rural roads that connect small community centers like Carrollton. The map reveals a deeply established local history through numerous burial grounds such as Star Spring Cem, Wimberly Cem, and Strong Cem, reflecting family homesteads and early congregations.

Inland from the river, the terrain is defined by the drainage of Tenaha Creek and Flat Fork Creek. Distinctive features like the Tenaha Lookout suggest the importance of forest management, while the presence of the Las Ormigas Grant Lot No 4 indicates the persistent legacy of early land grants in Shelby County. From Mason Lake to the eastern marshes, the map captures a transition between managed timberlands and the vast water system of the Sabine basin.
