2012 Map of Calhoun

About this map

Calhoun serves as a primary hub of settlement in this northern Louisiana landscape, where Interstate 20 intersects with the traditional agricultural and timber lands of Ouachita Parish. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bayou Choudrant, which meanders across the center of the sheet, and the southern wetlands of N Cheniere Cr. Smaller communities like Eureka and Wilhite anchor the rural road network, while several historic burial grounds including Mount Zion Cem and Butler Cem offer important points of interest for genealogical research. The presence of the Carlton Gas Field and Drew Gas Field underscores the region's energy production history. Extensive recreational spaces are also evident, including the Ouachita Valley Council Scout Reservation in the northwest and Camp Ch-Yo-Ca further south, illustrating how this landscape balances industrial use with community education and preservation.
