About this map

Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the western edge of this Sabine Parish landscape, where the waters meet a complex network of drainages including Bayou La Nana and Negreet Creek. This modern survey documents the interface between the expanding reservoir and the traditional settlements of Loring and Many. The terrain is deeply inscribed with small-scale watercourses like Hurricane Creek and Edmondson Creek, which have historically shaped the rural road network and settlement patterns.

Local history is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, most notably the Pilgrim Rest Cemetery, Randolph Cemetery, and Anderson Cemetery. These sites, along with the proximity of Loring Lake, provide concrete points of reference for genealogists tracking family lineages in the region. The map also delineates the precise township and range lines, such as t7n r12w, which ground these locations in the historical Public Land Survey System.
