1948 Map of Wiergate

About this map

The Sabine National Forest dominates the terrain of the Piney Woods at the close of the 1940s, split by the meandering channel of the Sabine River along the Texas-Louisiana border. Small settlements and timber-country outposts like Fairdale, Mayflower, and Burkeville are connected by a network of unimproved roads and the G. C. & S. F. Ry corridor running through Wiergate. The map reveals a landscape defined by its riverine features, where Anthonys Ferry still provides a crossing point and numerous oxbow lakes such as Alligator Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Blue Lake dot the floodplain.
