2018 Map of Cotton Valley

About this map

Cotton Valley serves as the primary hub of this north Louisiana landscape, where the meandering course of Bodcau Creek marks the boundary between Webster Parish and Bossier Parish. The town’s grid, featuring streets such as Webster St and Egan St, gives way to a network of rural routes and family-named roads like Wenk s Landing Rd and Hayes Farm Rd. To the south and east, several small named locales including Dayson, Treat, Invincible, and Ecco indicate the historical footprint of earlier communities across the terrain. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites, such as Flaherty Cem, Hodges Cem, and the Banks Sandlin Cem near the southern border. The landscape is further defined by its water features, ranging from the broad Ivan Lake to the north to smaller bodies like Bong Lake and Coile Pond.
