Athens and the adjacent settlement of Old Athens anchor this portrait of Claiborne Parish, where the modern township and its predecessor lie south of the rolling hill country. The landscape is heavily marked by family and community history, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Lower Old Athens Cem, Salem Cem, and Atkins Cem. These sites, along with the Mount Zion-West Cem and Cooksey Cem, suggest the deep roots of the local population throughout the timber and farming lands of northern Louisiana.
