2018 Map of Blankston

About this map

The Ouachita River defines the northeastern boundary of this Caldwell Parish landscape, carving a wide path past Lone Grave Bluff and the small settlement of Blankston. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage basins, where waterways like Bills Cr, Castor Cr, and Lost Cr weave through the timbered bottomlands and low hills. This 2018 survey reveals a rural infrastructure built around old family and community roads, such as Ester Rd and Honeycutt Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and local landmarks. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Fellowship Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's long-standing community roots. To the east, the presence of Horseshoe Lake and Upper Lone Grave Bayou highlights the ever-shifting hydrology of the river basin.
