2015 Map of Danville

About this map

The Dugdemona River meanders through the central lowlands of this part of North Louisiana, defining the border between Bienville and Jackson Parishes. To the south, the landscape is preserved within the Kisatchie National Forest, where the terrain is drained by tributaries like Lick Creek and Boggy Cr. Small rural settlements such as Danville, Loe, Shady, and Evergreen are scattered across the higher ground, connected by a network of parish roads. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like the Danville Cem and McDonald Cem. The map illustrates a typical timber-and-agricultural interior, where drainage patterns from Muddy Cr and Fouse Bayou dictate the placement of early homesteads and roadbeds. These waterways and the expansive wetlands surrounding Horner Lake reflect the hydrological character of the region before modern development altered local drainage.
