About this map

The Sabine National Forest dominates this East Texas landscape, where a dense network of creeks and bayous defines the terrain. The settlement of Pineland serves as a local hub at the southern edge, while smaller communities like Magasco, Plainview, and Pine Park are connected by forest roads and a prominent Pipeline. This era of the late 1970s and early 1980s shows the region's heavy reliance on timber and natural resource management, with topography marked by features like Rosin Ridge and the winding Housen Bayou.

Water is a constant presence, from the northern Smith Creek to the southern Sixmile Creek and Pigeon Creek. Genealogists and local historians can find a Cem located near Magasco, providing a specific point of interest for family research. The map also records localized place names such as Strickland Crossing and Bennett Branch, documenting the rural character of Sabine County before significant modern development altered these traditional forest tracks.
