About this map

Chester and Cotton Plant define the rural character of this northern Louisiana landscape, where a dense network of local roads connects scattered settlements and family cemeteries. The terrain is deeply tied to the energy industry, as evidenced by numerous designated production zones including the Cotton Plant Gas Field and Hathaway Branch Gas Field. These industrial sites sit alongside landmarks of local community life, such as the Sardis Church of Gas Field.

A complex drainage system of small waterways, including Beaucoup Cr and Banister Cr, shapes the topography. For genealogists and local historians, the map serves as a detailed record of family burials, identifying sites like the Old Union Cem, McCarty Cem, and Powers Cem. The road network, comprising named routes like Lonehill Church Rd and Hatten Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of this Winn Parish region.
