2024 Map of Blankston

About this map

The Ouachita River defines the northeastern boundary of this Caldwell Parish landscape, carving a sharp oxbow near the settlement of Blankston. Below the river's bend, Lone Grave Bluff overlooks a network of waterways including Upper Lone Grave Bayou and Winn Branch. The interior terrain is heavily dissected by numerous drainages such as Bills Creek, Castor Creek, and Lost Creek, which flow through a region marked by rural roads and family-named routes. Genealogical interest centers on Fellowship Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, located along central and southern transport corridors. The southern portion of the sheet is characterized by the confluence of smaller tributaries like Richland Creek and the presence of Horseshoe Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology typical of the Louisiana lowlands west of the main river channel.
