About this map

Cotton Valley serves as the central hub of this north Louisiana landscape, where the town's street grid meets rural arterial roads like Sikes Ferry Rd and Hwy 160. The region is defined by its transition from the wetland systems of Bodcau Cr and Coile Pond in the west to a more dispersed agricultural and timberland pattern in the east. Numerous small communities and points of interest are scattered along the north-south transit corridors, including Dayson, Treat, Invincible, and Ecco.

Family history is well-preserved through several established burial grounds, such as Coyle Cem, Flaherty Cem, and Sandin Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage network, including French Cr and Gray Cr, illustrating how the terrain shaped the settlement patterns of Couchwood and surrounding rural districts. The intricate boundary between open water and marshland is particularly evident near Ivan Lake and Wenk Landing.
