2015 Map of Cotton Valley

About this map

Cotton Valley serves as the primary hub for this portion of northwestern Louisiana, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Bodcau Creek and the surrounding marshy lowlands of the Bossier and Webster Parish line. The map reveals a dense network of local roads and small settlements that speak to the area’s agricultural and residential development, including Dayson, Treat, and Couchwood. The topography is relatively gentle, characterized by numerous small tributaries like French Creek and Gray Cr that feed into the larger creek system. Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial sites across the quadrangle. Several small cemeteries, such as Flaherty Cem, Hodges Cem, and Sandin Cem, are preserved here, often located near the intersections of old parish routes like Parish Road 270 and Old Highway 7.
