2015 Map of Clay

About this map

Clay and Ansley anchor the central and southern portions of this landscape, situated along the Lincoln Parish and Jackson Parish line. This region of North Louisiana is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the prominent Cypress Bayou and smaller tributaries like Redwine Creek and Sugar Creek. Small rural communities such as Woodville and Pleasant Hill are connected by a grid of old routes like China Grove Road and Old State Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Prospect Cemetery, and Ansley Cemetery. The terrain is marked by the transition from the southern edge of Ruston, where West Tennessee Avenue and South Vienna Street provide arterial access to the wooded hill country and bottomlands to the south.
