About this map

Morehouse Parish and Ouachita Parish meet in this landscape defined by the lowlands and waterways of northern Louisiana. The survey documents a network of rural settlements, ranging from Collinston and Upland in the east to Spyker in the north and the small community of Wham near the southern border. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous drainage systems including Staulkinghead Cr, Jordan Cr, and Sandlick Bayou, reflecting the intricate hydrology of the region before significant modern development altered these patterns.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including family and community burial grounds such as Pickett Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Carter Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the 2015 road network, showing names like Carbon Plant Rd and Victory Ln, which point to the industrial and local history of the area. Large parish boundaries and section lines from t20n r5e and t20n r6e provide a clear spatial framework for historical property research.
