About this map

The Black River winds through the southeastern corner of this Lawrence County landscape, defining a low-lying riparian zone of sloughs and ponds including Sawlog Slough, Hill Slough, and White Pond. The terrain to the north and west is characterized by a network of drainage creeks like Flat Cr, Little Cypress Cr, and Crow Cr, which feed into several engineered reservoirs such as Flat Cr Site Six Reservoir. The settlement pattern is largely rural, anchored by the small communities of Denton, Eaton, and Lynn. This region’s social history is recorded through its numerous burial grounds, including the Old Bethel Cem, Sharp Cem, and Powhatan Cem. A modern addition to the landscape is Lake Charles, which is surrounded by a dense network of local roads such as Lawrence 240 Rd, indicating the area's development for recreation and local access by the early 21st century.
