2003 Map of Patroon North

About this map

Sabine National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where the wooded terrain is cut by an intricate network of creeks and bayous. The 2003 revision reflects a region defined by its relationship with the Toledo Bend Reservoir, which shapes the eastern boundary and the mouth of Blue Bayou. Local history and genealogy are centered around long-standing community nodes like Patroon and Dreka, often anchored by rural congregations such as Lone Star Ch and New Harmony Ch. The map provides specific locations for early burial grounds, including Holy Spring Cem and Latham Cem, which are critical for tracing family roots in this corner of Shelby County. Small commerce centers like Jordans Store and government outposts like the Dreka Work Center (USFS) serve as landmarks within the dense timberland and along the winding courses of Mushotuba Creek and Chambers Creek.
