2020 Map of De Loutre

About this map

Bayou de Loutre meanders through this portion of Union Parish, defining a landscape marked by small rural settlements and a network of parish roads. The small communities of De Loutre and Quigley sit north of the bayou, while Canbeal lies to the west, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of Northern Louisiana. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, showing several local burial sites such as Edwards Cem, Taylor Cem, and Antioch Cem near the southern edge of the survey. The southern border touches the waters of Bayou D'Arbonne Lake, highlighting the transition from the winding creeks like Horse Pen Cr and Clear Branch to the larger reservoir system. The abundance of named family landmarks, including Ouehleys Pond and various roads like Tiger Bend Rd, provides a clear picture of local land ownership and the interconnected nature of these rural townships.
