2012 Map of Dunbarton

About this map

The winding Tensas River and a complex network of bayous define this part of Concordia Parish in the early 20th century. The landscape is heavily marked by energy production, with the Ballina Oil Field, Jonesville Oil Field, and Frogmore Oil Field spread across the alluvial plains. This environment is characterized by a high concentration of water bodies such as Round Lake, Hollywood Bayou, and Big Cash Bayou, which dictate the placement of local roads. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the communities of Dunbarton and Ballina. Local history is preserved at the Eva Dale Cem, while a grid of rural routes like Haphazard Rd and Lamarque Rd provide access to the various extraction sites and dispersed homesteads. The map illustrates how industry and topography converge in a region shaped by both its natural hydrology and modern resource exploration.
