About this map

Bayou de Loutre meanders through the heart of Union Parish, defining the drainage patterns and transportation corridors of this rural Louisiana landscape. Small settlements and named crossroads like De Loutre, Quigley, and Canbeal serve as local anchors, connected by a network of parish roads such as Tiger Bend Rd and Albritton Ford Rd. The geography is deeply tied to family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Taylor Cem and Edwards Cem.

In the southern reaches, the waters of Bayou D'Arbonne Lake begin to emerge, while smaller water bodies like Ouchleys Pond and creeks such as Horse Pen Cr and Owens Cr punctuate the timbered terrain. The presence of Loutre Dock Rd suggests the historical importance of the bayou for regional access, while landmarks like Antioch Cem and Enterprise Cem reflect the long-standing social fabric of these North Louisiana communities.
