2015 Map of Colquitt

About this map

The settlement of Colquitt serves as the focal point for this survey of the Louisiana-Arkansas borderlands in Claiborne Parish. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the D'Arbonne and Corney systems, including Middle Fork Bayou D'Arbonne and Corney Bayou. Much of the southern and central terrain is situated within the Kisatchie National Forest, where a dense network of forest roads like Fo Rd 913 and Fire Dist Rd 910 crisscross the timberlands. Family history is etched into the road names and small burial sites throughout the quadrangle, with Colquitt Cem and Monk Cem providing primary genealogical anchors. Roads such as Ray Odom Rd, Mack Foster Rd, and Jeff Bailey RD suggest a long-standing pattern of family-held tracts and rural homesteads in this corner of northern Louisiana.
