About this map

The town of Bienville and its surrounding hill country define this landscape in north-central Louisiana. This survey details a rural network of small communities and family-associated landmarks, including Walsh in the north and the cluster of Liberty Hill, Old Liberty Hill Cem, and Liberty Hill Cem. The terrain is shaped by the wide basin of Saline Bayou, which flows southward through a landscape of dense wetlands and drainage systems like Pea Vine Cr and Edwards Mill Cr.

Evidence of local recreation and land use is found in the various club roads, such as Driskill Mt Hunting Club Rd and the Cotton Patch Hunting Club Rd. The settlement pattern remains largely dispersed, with smaller points of interest like Lucky, Blume, and Crowson connected by parish roads. This map serves as an important record of regional cemeteries and minor watercourses, including Hurricane Cr and Muddy Cr, which have long influenced the placement of homesteads and agricultural tracts in the parish.
