About this map

Benton serves as the focal point of this Bossier Parish landscape, situated near the eastern banks of the Red River. The geography is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the expansive Cypress Bayou Reservoir and Black Bayou Reservoir, which dominate the central and eastern portions of the map. These reservoirs, along with Little Caney Bayou and Cat Island Lake, illustrate the region's managed hydrology and its role in local recreation and water management.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, such as Macedonia Cem, Player Cem, and the Old Red River Cem. Small settlements and named locales like Linton, Dukedale, and Barso are connected by a web of rural routes, including Linton Rd and Butler Hill Rd. The inclusion of the Sonlef Air Strip and the Benton Community Club Cem reflects the area's mix of private infrastructure and long-standing community landmarks.
