2012 Map of Downsville South

About this map

Tremont serves as a primary southern anchor for this portion of Lincoln Parish, situated along a transportation corridor that divides the drainage basins of Choudrant Creek and Squire Creek. The landscape is characterized by a mix of small crossroads communities and significant industrial infrastructure, notably the Tremont Gas Field, South Downsville Gas Field, and North Carlton Gas Field. These energy resources are woven through a rural network of family-named roads such as Averette Road and Williams Road. In the northern reaches, the community of Smurney and the nearby Smyrna Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. To the east, the area around Frost Town and Pleasant Valley follows the winding path of Bayou Choudrant, illustrating the enduring relationship between small Louisiana settlements and the region's complex bayou systems.
