2015 Map of Bird Island Point

About this map

The expansive waters of Catahoula Lake dominate the southern portion of this LaSalle Parish landscape, where the Little River winds through complex bayous and river bends. The settlement of Whitehall sits near the northern boundary, while the small community of Sharp Town is situated further west along the hills. The map captures a transitional zone between the elevated terrain of the northwest and the low-lying wetlands and islands of the east, including Rabbit Island and Picket Island at the confluence of several waterways. Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the area, such as Chevallier Cem, McClure Cem, and Spencer Bayou Cem. The intricate network of small streams like Hickory Br and Gelvin Cr feeds into the larger basin, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this riverine environment.
