About this map

Bernice serves as the primary hub in this northern Louisiana landscape, where a dense grid of streets like Cherry St and Plum St meets the rural parish road network. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Bayou D'Arbonne, which draws in numerous tributaries including Lynn Creek, Cane Creek, and Bull Creek. This 2020 survey reveals a deep-rooted community structure anchored by numerous burial grounds and religious sites, such as Harmony Chapel Cemetery and Mount Olive Cemetery, which are often located near small historic settlements like Weldon and Hunt.

The boundary between Union Parish and Claiborne Parish bisects the western portion of the map, while the southern edge touches the Lincoln Parish line. Local family and land history is visible through named thoroughfares such as Will Green Road and Gus Brown Road. The presence of a Chicken House and a Chip Mill Road points toward the continued importance of timber and agricultural industry in this region of the Bayou State.
