2018 Map of Boneset Creek

About this map

The settlement of Ikes and the winding course of Bundick Cr dominate this portion of Beauregard Parish, where a network of family-named roads reveals the deep roots of local heritage. The landscape is defined by its extensive hydrography, featuring numerous branches and creeks such as Boneset Cr, Turkey Hollow Cr, and Beemouth Br. These waterways cut through the terrain, influencing the placement of early infrastructure and homesteads. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem, Whitaker Cem, and Hopwell Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The southern portion of the map is marked by Bundick Lake, a significant water body formed along the creek. The presence of roads like Three Pine Church Rd, American Legion Rd, and Lewis Cemetery Rd points to the community-centered layout of the area, where rural churches and cemeteries provided the primary social and geographical nodes for the surrounding residents.
