About this map

The Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the southwestern portion of this Sabine Parish landscape, reflecting the significant hydrological changes in the region by the late 1980s. This survey, compiled from 1982 aerial photography, captures the inundated river valleys and the intricate shoreline where Prairie Creek and Hurricane Creek meet the reservoir. The small settlement of Loring remains a focal point in the northwest, situated near Loring Lake and a prominent Radio Tower.

A network of bayous and creeks, including La Nana Bayou and Harpoon Bayou, indicates a dense drainage system through the piney woods. A Pipeline cuts across the central terrain, marking the industrial footprint of energy transport in rural Louisiana. Genealogists and local historians can find a Cem located near the eastern boundary, providing a point of reference for families tracing their roots in the La Nana district near Phillips Creek.
