2018 Map of Carterville

About this map

Carterville and the surrounding piney woods of northern Bossier Parish define this landscape near the Arkansas border. The terrain is deeply inscribed by the winding course of Bodcau Creek, which forms the boundary with Webster Parish to the east. This water system, including the Paper Mill Pond and the secluded Goodwin Spring, has long shaped the local economy and settlement patterns. Genealogy researchers will find a significant distribution of family and community burial sites, from Timothy Cem in the northeast to Hill Cem in the southwest corner. The map also documents the transition from agriculture to industry, noted by the Mott Oilfield Rd and the small crossroads at Redland and Mot. Wooded tracts are interlaced with local thoroughfares like Walkers Chapel Rd and Dixon Cutoff Rd, providing a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
