Cotton Valley serves as the central hub of this north Louisiana landscape, situated along the boundary of Webster Parish and Bossier Parish. The geography is defined by the winding course of Bodcau Creek and its associated wetlands, which separate the more developed eastern half from the western reaches near Ivan Lake. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites and rural congregations, such as Mount Sariah Church Cem and Wesley Grove Cem, which anchor the small crossroads communities that once dotted the region.
