"Sabine Island"

Any geologists out there that can tell me what the deal is with the "Sabine Uplift"? It's a geological formation on or near the TX and LA border and Toledo Bend Lake. It is labeled as such on various companies' maps. One Chesapeake map calls it "Sabine Island". I assume that there is an uplift in the subsurface stratas. Does that mean that area is going to be poor for drilling and production? Or, maybe it creates some shallow oil plays? Anyone care to comment?

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
