About this map

The sprawling shoreline of the Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this Sabine Parish study, where the inundated valleys of Winfrey Cr and other tributaries create a complex network of coves and points. Higher ground to the east is defined by small rural settlements like Negreet and Dess, which serve as focal points for a network of family-named roads including Alvin Curtis Rd and Lloyd Savell Rd.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the hills, such as Antioch Cem near Dess and Carroll Cem to the north. The drainage patterns of Negreet Cr and Big Skinner Cr illustrate the traditional timber and agricultural terrain of western Louisiana before and after the reservoir's creation. The southern settlement of Esto sits near the water's edge, reflecting the region's shift toward recreation and residential development along the Sabine River's historic basin.
