About this map

Logansport stands at the northwestern edge of this survey, where the landscape transitions into the expansive wetlands and bottomlands of the Sabine River valley. During the early 1980s, this border region between De Soto Parish, Louisiana, and Shelby County, Texas, was defined by the intricate hydrology of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. The map illustrates a complex network of bayous and branches, including Grand Cane Bayou, Castor Bayou, and Canadian Bayou, which feed into the larger river system.

South of the small settlement of Stanley, the terrain is heavily marked by the Sabine National Forest and numerous water bodies such as Horseshoe Lake, Ashton Lake, and Cawthorn Lake. These features, along with the broad Southerland Bottom, indicate a low-lying, flood-prone environment where local life has long been tied to the seasonal rhythms of the river and the timber resources of the surrounding forests.
