2018 Map of Dunbarton

About this map

The Tensas River meanders across this alluvial landscape, marking the boundary between Catahoula Parish and Concordia Parish. This portion of Louisiana is defined by a dense network of oxbows and backwaters, where numerous named lakes like Gin Lake, Round Lake, and Knockanar Lake suggest the shifting course of local waterways over time. The settlement of Dunbarton is situated along the river's northern reach, supported by a system of levees including the Dunbarton Levee Rd. Land use is primarily agricultural, with the terrain partitioned by drainage features such as Brushy Bayou and Pool Lake Bayou. For those researching local family history, the map identifies small, rural burial sites including Cypress Grove Cem and Eva Dale Cem. A web of parish roads, such as Vaughn Rd and Haphazard Rd, connects these isolated wetlands and farmsteads.
