1944 Map of Logansport

About this map

Sabine River serves as the winding border between Louisiana and Texas in the early 1940s, defining a landscape of dense bayous and small rural settlements. This survey, conducted by J. P. Rydeen and others, reveals the intricate drainage system of Grand Cane Bayou, Tenaha Bayou, and Cow Bayou before the large-scale impoundments of later decades. The area is dotted with numerous small churches and cemeteries, such as Prude Cem and New Bethany Ch, which reflect the localized nature of community life during this era.
