1944 Map of Patroon

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Sabine River forms the winding border between Texas and Louisiana, carving out a complex landscape of sloughs and oxbow lakes such as Saltworks Lake and Bonner Lake. Surveyed in the early 1940s, this area of Shelby County and Sabine Parish is dotted with rural infrastructure, from the Dreka Lookout to the Patroon CCC Camp. Small communities and family centers like Black Ankle, Alexanders Store, and Ragtown are visible alongside numerous local schools and houses of worship. The map reveals the intricate water network of the river bottomlands, including Tiger Lake Slough and San Patricio Bayou, which shaped the settlement patterns of East Texas during this era. Genealogists may find particular value in the locations of Hollow Springs Cem and Windham Cem, as well as several rural churches such as Oakland Ch.
