1982 Map of Merryville South

About this map

The Sabine River serves as the primary geographical divider between Newton County, Texas and Beauregard Parish, Louisiana. This 1982 survey reveals a landscape defined by meandering oxbows and floodplains, featuring numerous named water bodies such as Alligator Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Candy Lake. The northern edge of the map is anchored by the community of Merryville, which includes the Merryville High School, while smaller named locales like Bivens and Bugger dot the southern reaches. Local family histories are reflected in the presence of Stark Cemetery, Burks Cemetery, and Meadow Cemetery. The transit network of the era is dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels the Santa Fe road through the upper portion of the quadrangle, while much of the central river bottom is protected as the Beauregard Game and Fish Preserve.
