2012 Map of Danville

About this map

The Dugdemona River and its companion, the Little Dugdemona River, define the hydrology of this Bienville Parish landscape. At the center of the local industry is the Danville Gas Field, surrounded by a web of parish roads including Danville Rd and Evergreen Rd. Small settlements like Danville, Loe, Shady, and Evergreen serve as the primary human hubs, often located near ancestral sites such as Danville Cem and McDonald Cem. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems, including Fouse Bayou, Muddy Cr, and the descriptively named Burnt Cabin Cr. This survey illustrates the persistence of rural communities and extractive industries in northern Louisiana during the early 21st century, where family-named landmarks like Babers Rd and Watkins Rd indicate long-standing local ties.
