2012 Map of Athens
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Athens and its historic predecessor Old Athens anchor this portrait of Claiborne Parish, where the geography is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and timberlands. The landscape reveals a transition between old settlement patterns and modern industrial use, evidenced by the proximity of the Athens Lookout Tower to active energy sites like the Athens Gas Field and Leatherman Creek Oil and Gas Field. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Upper and Lower Old Athens Cem, as well as rural family-named grounds like Cooksley Cem and Kimbell Cem. The area’s hydrology is dominated by the winding paths of Brush, Isaac, and Clear creeks, which flow through a countryside punctuated by small community hubs such as Russellville and Mulnix.
