About this map

The western reaches of Sabine Parish are defined here by the extensive waters of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, which submerged the lower elevations of the landscape in the mid-20th century. This 1985 survey illustrates the resulting shoreline where Bayou Negreet meets the main body of the reservoir, creating a complex network of inlets and peninsulas. The settlement at Negreet serves as a central point for the local community, which is geographically anchored by several country churches and family burial grounds, including Zion Hill Ch and Carroll Cem.

Industrial activity is scattered throughout the piney woods, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and a network of pipelines that cross the undulating terrain of La Nana. Local infrastructure in smaller nodes like Dess and Substa remains visible, while the water system is supported by a series of creeks such as Winfrey Creek and Brushy Creek. The map provides a clear look at the rural road network and the division of timberlands and oil fields just prior to late-century developments.
