Photos and Note by Gerald Massey
Photographer's Note:
"The marker is located on the Louisiana / Texas state line on Louisiana Highway 765 and Texas FM-31. This is only six miles from Logansport, Louisiana while it is ten miles from Deadwood, Texas.

Only a hundred yards or so from the marker is a sign saying "Galloway." This was the birthplace of Country Musician Jim Reeves. I believe that Galloway would technically be the closest "community" to the marker, although it doesn't appear on the Texas state map while Deadwood and Logansport both appear on their respective maps. - Gerald Massey, February 2009
