About this map

Danville serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1980s landscape where the borders of Bienville, Jackson, and Winn Parishes converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Dugdemona River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Dugdemona River, Bear Creek, and Muddy Creek. Large portions of the southern quadrangle fall within the Kisatchie National Forest, reflecting a region dominated by timber resources and natural conservation areas.

The industrial character of the parish lines is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and Sand Pits, alongside a prominent Pipeline corridor cutting across the northern reaches. Water management and drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, from the Gaging Sta on the main river to named features like Horner Lake and Fouse Bayou. Several rural Cem sites are noted, providing valuable points of reference for local family history research in this heavily wooded river valley.
