2015 Map of Boneset Creek

About this map

Bundick Creek and its many tributaries, including Boneset Creek, define the drainage of this central Louisiana landscape north of the Calcasieu River basin. Small rural settlements like Longacre and Ikes serve as anchors for a network of local roads such as La-1146 and Legion Rd. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several dispersed family and community burial grounds including Whitaker Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Hopwell Cem near Hopewell Church Rd. The terrain is etched by numerous branches and hollows, such as Turkey Hollow Cr, Tiger Br, and Beemouth Br, illustrating a landscape dominated by timber and small-scale agriculture. The survey also captures the grid of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range lines that have governed land ownership since the region's early development.
