2020 Map of Downsville North

About this map

Downsville sits at the southern edge of this Union Parish landscape, where the local road network converges near the Downsville Cem. The terrain is defined by the northern reaches of Bayou D'Arbonne Lake, with its irregular shoreline reaching into the timbered hills. This survey records a high density of rural burial sites, including Sardis Cem, Feazel Cem, and Mount Nebo Cem, providing significant data for genealogists tracing family histories in the D'Arbonne area. Waterways like Stowe Creek and Cypress Cr carve through the parish, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and road placement. The proximity of D'Arbonne and the network of parish roads, such as Hartwick Rd and Holmesville Rd, reveal a rural community structure deeply tied to the natural hydrology of North Louisiana.
