1983 Map of Old Center

About this map

Sabine River bottomlands dominate this section of Panola County, where the meandering waterway creates intricate oxbows and swampy lowlands like Coon Pond. The terrain transitions from these river basins into the wooded uplands surrounding settlements such as Old Center and Woods. A notable geographical feature is the sharp turn of the river at Buzzard Roost Bend, a landmark that underscores the unhurried, winding nature of the East Texas drainage system before it enters the northern reaches of the Toledo Bend Reservoir.
