1983 Map of Logan

About this map

Logan and Galloway sit at the center of this rural landscape along the Texas-Louisiana border in the early 1980s. The geography is defined by the expansive Toledo Bend Reservoir and the Sabine River, which form the southern boundary of the study area. This period of the landscape shows the matured water levels of the reservoir, contrasted with the winding natural courses of Socagee Creek and Garrison Creek that drain the timbered uplands. Local family history is preserved in several rural Cem locations and small settlements like Belle Bower in the northeast. The road network connects these isolated communities through the creek-dissected terrain, while features like Booker Branch and Clear Lake provide specific landmarks for those tracing land tracts or genealogy in Panola County and De Soto Parish.
