About this map

Waskom sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the historic border between Texas and Louisiana. The map documents the intricate road networks and property divisions surrounding this border community, where residential streets like Mary Elizabeth Dr and Eberle St meet the corridor of W Texas Ave. The area is characterized by several rural cemeteries that serve as vital markers for local genealogy, including Restland Cem and the distant Hightower Cem to the south.

Water features define the drainage patterns of the region, notably Big Sis Cr and Little Sis Cr in the northwest, while Clearview Lake and State Line Lake provide landmarks near the state boundary. Moving east toward Greenwood, the terrain transitions into more wooded areas, punctuated by specific sites like the Forest Park Cem. This modern survey provides a detailed look at how the communities of Lorraine and Waskom have developed along the jurisdictional divide.
