2010 Map of Toro

About this map

Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates the western portion of this Sabine Parish landscape, defining the jagged shoreline and numerous inlets that characterize the border between Louisiana and Texas. The community of Clare sits near the water's edge, while the small settlements of Rattan and Toro are situated further inland to the east. This era shows a rural region transitioning between water-based recreation and industrial extraction, evidenced by the presence of the Rattan Gas Field and several access points like H L B Landing and Kites Landing. The terrain is drained by a dense network of creeks, including Bayou Toro and Beaver Creek, which flow through the wooded tracts and lowlands. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds, such as Victoria Cemetery, Caney Cemetery, and McMillion Cemetery, which remain as persistent landmarks amidst the newer developments of the reservoir area.
