2018 Map of Clay

About this map

Lincoln and Jackson Parishes meet in this North Louisiana landscape, where the settlements of Woodville, Clay, and Ansley are linked by a network of rural roads and parish routes. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Redwine Creek and Sugar Creek, alongside the wetland reaches of Cypress Bayou. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial sites and rural congregations that anchor these communities, including the Wesley Chapel Cem and the New Prosperity Baptist Church Cem. The map documents a transition from the rolling timberlands of the north to the more marshy environments associated with Sugar Creek in the south, reflecting the traditional agricultural and forestry patterns of the region. A clear view of historical transit is visible in the alignment of Old State Rd and the various parish connectors like Bridge Creek Rd.
