2018 Map of Converse

About this map

Converse sits at the heart of this North Louisiana landscape, where the boundary between De Soto Parish and Sabine Parish divides a region defined by dense bayou networks. The drainage of Bayou San Patricio dominates the central terrain, carving a wide path through the timbered hills between the smaller settlements of Benson to the north and Sardis to the south. Local transit is recorded through specific landmarks like Cotton Gin Rd and Old Camp Rd, which hint at the agricultural and timber history of the area. Genealogists will find the Sebastian Cem near the northern border, while the eastern edge of the map identifies the small community of Mitchell near Drake Lake. The intricate mapping of Choctaw Bayou and its numerous tributaries reveals a landscape where water and elevation have long dictated the placement of homesteads and connecting roads.
