1989 Map of Clark

About this map

Clarks anchor the southeastern corner of this Caldwell Parish landscape, appearing as a concentrated grid of streets during the late 1980s. The surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, with Castor Creek and Black Bayou meandering through the low-lying timberlands and bottomlands. Evidence of the region’s fire management and observation history is found at the Mount Pleasant Lookout Tower, a prominent landmark situated on the higher ground to the north. A Double Wooden Pole Power Line cuts a straight path through the drainage basins of Richland Creek and Hurricane Creek, indicating the infrastructure supporting the local timber and rural economy. Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the isolated Grave located north of Richland Creek, preserved amid the dense network of small tributaries like Piney Creek and Messer Creek.
