2015 Map of Dowden Creek

About this map

Anacoco serves as a central hub in this landscape where the boundary between Sabine Parish and Vernon Parish meets. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Dowden Creek, W Anacoco Cr, and E Anacoco Cr, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure. For those researching family history in the region, the map identifies significant sites such as Union Grove Cem and McInnis Cem. The rural road network is marked by family-named routes like Prewitts Chapel Rd, Spears Rd, and Clyde Miller Rd, reflecting the long-standing land-use patterns of these Louisiana parishes. The map illustrates how local life follows the draws and branches of the creek systems, with numerous small crossings and loops like Gum Springs Loop and Mennis Loop Rd connecting dispersed homesteads to the primary thoroughfares.
