About this map

Woodville and Clay anchor this landscape of north-central Louisiana, situated along the parish line between Lincoln Parish and Jackson Parish. The area is defined by a dense network of timberlands and drainage systems, including the headwaters of Bayou Cypress and the winding course of Redwine Creek. Extensive industrial activity is evident through the scattered presence of a Sand Pit and the Gravel Pit Redwine, alongside several pipelines and pumping stations that cut through the undulating terrain.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the expansive State Wildlife Management Area occupies a significant territory, bordering the settlement of Ansley. Genealogists will find several rural cemeteries located near church sites and old road junctions, providing essential markers for family history research in this rural corridor. The infrastructure of the mid-1980s is further detailed with landmarks like the Radio Tower Clay, reflecting the communication network of the era.
