Old Athens and its modern namesake Athens anchor this part of Claiborne Parish, reflecting a migration of local centers over time. The landscape is defined by a dense network of cemeteries that serve as vital markers for genealogical research, including Old Athens Cem, Lower Old Athens Cem, and Salem Cem. These burial grounds are often tied to early community hubs or family homesteads, such as the Moreland and Cooksey sites.
