About this map

Sabine National Forest dominates this section of East Texas, where the terrain slopes toward the extensive waters of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. The settlement of Milam serves as a central point for a landscape defined by its numerous small burial grounds and rural road networks. Family history is etched into the land here through sites like the Vance E Vickers Cem, Old Vickers Cem, and Cooper - Harris Cem, reflecting generations of local residency.

The presence of Red Hills Lake and the winding course of Palo Gaucho Bayou indicate the complex hydrography of the Sabine River basin. The map illustrates how modern forest management and residential developments along Lakeshore Dr and Commodore Dr coexist with older landmarks like Oliphint Chapel Cem and Milam Cem. Numerous creeks, including Boregas Cr and Carrico Cr, drain through the wooded hills into the reservoir, marking the boundary between Texas and Louisiana.
