1945 Map of Socagee Bayou

About this map

The Sabine River forms a jagged border between Texas and Louisiana in this mid-1940s survey, anchoring a rural landscape of creek bottoms and small community centers. To the north, Socagee Bayou and Little Creek drain the terrain toward the river, while a distinct Unsurveyed Area occupies a significant portion of the western Panola County section. This absence of topographic data emphasizes the era's ongoing mapping efforts in the more remote reaches of the borderlands.
