About this map

Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates this landscape along the Louisiana-Texas border, where the flooded basin of the Sabine River creates a complex network of points, bluffs, and inlets. On the southern banks near the water's edge lies Sabinetown, a site with deep ties to the river's navigational history. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Merritt Mountain and the distinct river overlooks of Stone Coal Bluff and Goodlow Bluff.

Genealogists and local historians can find family-named landmarks and quiet burial grounds including Gandy Cemetery and Miller Cemetery. The 2010 shoreline is characterized by recreational developments like Turtle Beach, Edison Camp Bend, and Twin Island Campground. Transportation across the reservoir is centered on the Pendleton Bridge, while a web of local roads like El Camino Rd and Block House Rd provides access to the various peninsulas and rural residences.
