2020 Map of Clark

About this map

Clarks sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the southeastern edge of a complex network of wetlands and waterways. The area is defined by the broad drainage basin of Castor Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Messer Cr and Piney Cr. This 2020 map documents the persistent rural character of Caldwell Parish, where family and community history is anchored by sites like Old Bethel Cem and New Bethel Cem. A intricate system of secondary roads, such as Zion Hill Rd and Butler Bridge Rd, provides access across the low-lying terrain. The natural drainage patterns are heavily influenced by the presence of Black Bayou and Bayou de Chene, reflecting the typical hydrology of north-central Louisiana where bottomlands and ridges dictate settlement patterns and transportation corridors.
