About this map

Caddo Lake dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline defined by a maze of sloughs, chutes, and bayous that straddle the Texas-Louisiana border. The settlement of Uncertain sits along the western edge near Fly-N-Fish Lodge Airport, while historical river access points like Swansons Landing and Jeters Landing line the southern and eastern shores. This topography reveals the complex water system of the Big Cypress Bayou, where features like Whangdoodle Pass, Alligator Bayou, and Stumpy Slough illustrate the labyrinthine nature of these cypress-heavy wetlands.

Industrial activity is noted through the Caddo Oil Field and Longwood Oil Field, marking the intersection of natural resources and local economy. Local genealogists may find interest in the location of Blocker Cem to the south, while geographic landmarks such as Potters Point, Pine Bluff, and Ames Spring Basin provide specific coordinates for tracking land ownership and changing water levels in this unique cross-border region.
