About this map

The Sabine River winds through this East Texas landscape, defining the geographic character of the region south of Longview. The riparian corridor is punctuated by numerous tributaries and man-made water bodies, including Ferguson Cr Reservoir and the northern reaches of Lake Cherokee. This era shows a mix of educational and transportation infrastructure, anchored by the campus of Letourneau Univ and the expansive runways of the East Texas Regional Airport.

Smaller settlements and family landmarks provide significant detail for local historians. Communities such as Lakeport, Gum Springs, and Elderville are connected by a network of local roads and farm-to-market routes. Genealogists will find the locations of the Perry Clay Cem and Post Oak Cem particularly valuable for tracing local family roots within this well-watered terrain of creeks like Massey Br and Peatown Br.
