1986 Map of Colquitt

About this map

Colquitt serves as the primary settlement hub in this North Louisiana survey, situated at a crossroad where local timber and agricultural interests meet the northern reaches of the Kisatchie National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, most notably the winding Middle Fork Bayou D'Arbonne and the larger Corney Bayou to the north. These drainage systems, including Little Corney Bayou and Doe Branch, shaped the early settlement patterns and land use in Claiborne Parish. The map reveals the infrastructure of the mid-1980s, featuring a Pump Sta and several pipelines cutting through the wooded terrain, reflecting the region's energy and utility development. Genealogists may find interest in the marked Cem near the center of the township, while the detailed topography shows the numerous small drainages like Lick Creek and Steep Creek that partition the forest.
