2015 Map of Merryville North

About this map

The Sabine River forms the state boundary between Texas and Louisiana in this 2015 study, carving a complex path through the bottomlands of Beauregard Parish. This riparian landscape is defined by its oxbow lakes and winding waterways, including Alligator Lake, Palmer Lake, and the distinctive Steamboat Bend. The settlement of Merryville occupies the southern edge of the sheet, while the rural landscape to the north is dotted with smaller communities like Junction and Frazer. Long-standing local family history is anchored by the Hennigan Cem, situated near Bridge Cr. The survey illustrates a terrain where water dictates movement, with features such as Eaves Old River and Pole Slough framing the low-lying basins. The transport network consists of local roads like Eli Field Rd and Browning Rd, providing access to the various sloughs and lakes that characterize this border region.
