1945 Map of Socagee Bayou

About this map

Logansport anchors the southern edge of this mid-1940s survey, where the Southern Pacific railroad and Highway 84 cross the Sabine River at the Texas and Louisiana border. The landscape is a network of rural communities defined by their spiritual and educational centers, including Shiloh Ch, Bethel Ch, and Darrett Mission Ch, alongside local institutions like White Sch and Small Sch. A significant portion of the western territory is designated as an Unsurveyed Area, contrasting with the detailed mapping of the bayou country to the east. Waterways like Socagee Bayou, Little Creek, and Garrison Creek drain the timbered terrain of Panola Co and De Soto Parish. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of the Hogeye Cem and Old Home Cem, which serve as physical anchors for family histories in this borderland region.
