2018 Map of Downsville North

About this map

Bayou D'Arbonne Lake dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding piney hills of North Louisiana. The boundary between Union and Lincoln Parishes bisects the map, framing a region where rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds. Small communities like Downsville and Farmerville serve as local hubs, connected by a network of winding roads such as Prentice Gibson Rd and Hicks Frazier Rd. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Stowe Creek and Cypress Cr, which carve through the undulating topography. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous documented cemeteries, including Sardis Cem and Feazel Cem, which mark the presence of established families across several townships.
