About this map

The Sabine River forms the central spine of this borderland survey, marking the jagged boundary between Texas and Louisiana. This edition documents a landscape in flux, specifically noting the development of the Toledo Bend Reservoir as it began to reshape the river valley. In the Louisiana territory, the La Nana Grant and the settlement of Shady Grove sit amidst a complex network of waterways like Salter Creek and Town Branch. Along the Texas side, the Sabine National Forest preserves a denser wooded character, reaching down to the river near Goodlow Bluff. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of local landmarks such as Mullet Cemetery, Beulah Church, and Harpers Chapel, alongside the winding course of Palo Gaucho Bayou and Patroon Bayou before the rising waters of the reservoir fully transformed the riparian ecosystem.
