About this map

Big Lake and its intricate network of sloughs and bayous dominate this landscape at the Texas-Louisiana border. The settlement of Uncertain sits on the western edge of the water, near the Fly-N-Fish Lodge Airport, while the peninsula of Potters Point extends into the lake from the north. The map reveals an aquatic-dependent geography defined by features like Whangdoodle Pass, Stumpy Slough, and Mossy Brake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Cypress Bayou system.

Industrial activity is evident through the Caddo Oil Field and Longwood Oil Field, which speak to the region's energy history. Local heritage is further anchored by Swansons Landing and Jeters Landing along the southern shore, and the presence of Blocker Cemetery in the southwest. This 2010 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the lake’s many islands, such as Goose Island and Big Sandy Island, and the rural road network including N State Line Rd.
