2020 Map of Blackburn

About this map

Flat Lick Bayou and Black Bayou wind through this corner of North Louisiana, where the landscape is defined by the transition from rural parish lands into the northern reaches of the Kisatchie National Forest. Small communities like Blackburn and Ruple anchor a network of local roads such as Pistol Thomas Rd and Bois D Arc Rd. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, reflecting generations of local lineage in places like Shiloh Cem, Mount Pisgah Cem, and the Grisby - Lewis Cem. This record also identifies the Hamiter Marker, providing a specific point of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing the settlement patterns and commemorative landmarks of Claiborne and Webster parishes.
