2016 Map of Sudduth Bluff

About this map

The Sabine River marks the boundary between Texas and Louisiana on this map of Calcasieu Parish and Newton County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and wetlands, including the Devils Pocket and numerous sloughs such as Cole Slough and Pocket Slough. The local geography is heavily influenced by the drainage of Little Cypress Creek and Nichols Creek toward the river valley. Evidence of established family settlements is found in the south near Sudduth Bluff, where the Laurel Sudduth Bluff Cem sits near the riverbank. Further north, the Wright Cem and Wrights Settlement Rd indicate another pocket of local heritage. The terrain is characterized by marshes like Mayhau Marsh and Hollis Marsh, alongside distinctive local features like Bumpy Baygall, reflecting the wet, low-lying bottomlands of this border region.
