About this map

The Tremont Gas Field and Calhoun Gas and Oil Field dominate the subsurface landscape of this mid-1990s Louisiana survey, where an extensive network of pipelines and gas wells interweaves with rural homesteads and family cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Choudrant Bayou and Squire Creek, which carve through the pine-covered hills of the Lincoln and Ouachita border.

Social and community life centers around historic congregations and schools, such as the Choudrant School and several rural churches like Lanes Chapel and Macedonia Ch. Evidence of the region's earlier transportation infrastructure is visible in the Old RR Grade south of Tremont, while newer developments include a Rest Area and Roadside Park along the modern highway corridor. Named rural roads like Hinton Road and Sibley Road provide a detailed look at the local geography of the late 20th century.
