2018 Map of Acme

About this map

Black River and Red River define this wet, low-lying reach where Catahoula Parish, Concordia Parish, and Avoyelles Parish converge. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of bayous, brakes, and oxbow lakes, illustrating the shifting fluvial history of the Mississippi delta region. Small settlements such as New Era, Acme, and Book are linked by the primary road network, including Parish Rd 58-140 and Levee Rd. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites north of New Era, including Dale Cem, Dewey Cem, and Trisler Cem. The map provides an intricate view of the local drainage patterns, from the Sixmile Bayou to the Pincushion Bayou, alongside numerous stagnant water features like Refuge Brake and Catskin Brake.
