2018 Map of Merryville North

About this map

Sabine River bottomlands dominate this survey of the Louisiana-Texas border, where the river's meandering course creates a complex network of oxbows and backwaters. In the northern reaches, features like Alligator Lake, Chain Lakes, and Armstrong Lake reflect the shifting hydrology of the river valley. The settlement of Merryville occupies the higher ground in the southeast corner, characterized by a grid of streets including S Railroad St and N Tram Rd, hinting at the area's timber and rail history. To the north lies the community of Junction, situated near the confluence of several parish roads. Genealogists will find the Hennigan Cems centrally located among the numerous sloughs and lakes, such as Kimmey Lake and Moon Lake, which define the wetlands of western Beauregard Parish. The boundary between Texas and Louisiana follows the main channel, passing distinctive river features like Steamboat Bend.
