About this map

The Sabine River forms a complex, winding boundary between Louisiana and Texas, defining the western edge of this coastal landscape. The land is dominated by the dense wetlands of Calcasieu Parish, where secondary waterways like Old River and Big Bayou snake through the marshy terrain. The settlement of Nibletts Bluff sits along the river's edge, serving as a historic point of reference in an area otherwise characterized by its intricate hydrology.

Transportation infrastructure reflects the mid-century development of southwest Louisiana, with the Southern Pacific railroad and State Highway No 90 cutting across the lower half of the quadrangle. Near the rail lines, the community of Toomey and the Comier Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in the region. The map also shows early industrial and utility features, including the Sabine Canal and a Gulf States Utilities Transmission Line.
