About this map

The town of Clarks serves as the primary settlement in this portion of Caldwell Parish, situated among a network of creeks and bayous that define the local drainage. Waterways such as Castor Creek, Black Bayou, and Richland Creek wind through the landscape, influencing the placement of early infrastructure like Butler Bridge Rd. The area is marked by several significant burial sites, including the New Bethel Cemetery and Old Bethel Cemetery, which provide valuable location data for genealogists and local historians.

Transport routes like Zion Hill Rd and Shirley Rd 313 connect the dispersed homesteads and rural land tracts across the townships. The drainage patterns of Messer Creek and Bayou de Chene highlight the low-lying nature of the terrain. This survey provides a modern record of established boundaries and naming conventions in a region where the balance between the bayou environment and human settlement remains central to its character.
