About this map

Cypress Creek and Hurricane Creek wind through this corner of North Louisiana, where the borderlines of Jackson, Ouachita, and Caldwell parishes converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of local roads named for established families, including Jack Crowell Rd, Hull George Rd, and Charles Griggs Rd. Small settlements like Tama and Cypress anchor the eastern edge of the sheet, while several rural burial grounds serve as significant genealogical markers for the region. These include the Frantom Chapel Cem in the northwest and the Mount Olive Church Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Little Glade Creek and Little Cypress Creek illustrate the low-lying, water-rich environment of the eastern piney woods, where timber and small-scale agriculture have long shaped the community structure.
