About this map

Black Lake Bayou meanders through this portion of north Louisiana, serving as the natural boundary between Webster Parish and Claiborne Parish. The landscape is defined by its rural density, featuring a concentration of cemeteries and small community centers that mark decades of local settlement. In the northwest, the edge of Minden appears, while the crossroads of Nine Forks and the small settlements of Dubberly and Ada anchor the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.

Genealogists will find significant value in the naming of religious and community landmarks, such as Hopewell Church Cem, Brushwood Church Cem, and the unique designation of the Home Civic League Cem Lot 2. These sites, along with family-named routes like Richard's Way and Holomon Cemetery Rd, provide a granular look at the familial geography of the region. The drainage patterns of Bear Cr and Brushy Cr further illustrate the traditional land use and property divisions established during the era of Public Land Survey System township and range development.
