About this map

Caddo Lake and the complex wetlands of the Big Cypress Bayou dominate this East Texas landscape along the border of Marion and Harrison counties. The map captures the intricate network of sloughs, chutes, and lakes that define the region, including Stumpie Lake, Littletons Lake, and the expansive Big Four Slough. The industrial presence of the Longhorn AAP occupies a significant portion of the terrain east of Karnack, with its extensive road network and proximity to the Wildlife Observation Trail.

Local history is preserved through the locations of the Hayner Cem, Oscar Hope Cem, and Hope Number 2 Cem. These landmarks, alongside small settlements like Baldwin and the uniquely named town of Uncertain, reflect the rural character of the area. The map illustrates the transition from the marshy environments of Hells Half Acre and Mossy Brake to the structured roadways of FM 134 and T J Taylor Ave.
