2015 Map of Bienville

About this map

Saline Bayou and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Cr and Edwards Mill Cr, create a dense network of waterways across this Bienville Parish landscape. Small settlements and named crossroads define the human geography, with Bienville serving as a primary hub alongside smaller locales like Liberty Hill, Cox Crossing, and Lucky. The eastern portion of the map is particularly significant for genealogical research, containing the Old Liberty Hill Cem, Liberty Hill Cem, and Taylor Cem. A complex system of parish roads, such as Parish Road 90 and Taylor Cemetery Rd, connects these rural communities through a terrain of shifting elevations and winding creeks like Sixmile Cr. This 2015 survey provides a modern snapshot of traditional North Louisiana settlement patterns, where timberlands and creek-bottoms remain central to the local geography.
