2020 Map of Eros

About this map

The town of Eros serves as the focal point for this 2020 study of northern Louisiana, situated at the crossroads where Jackson Parish meet Lincoln Parish and Ouachita Parish. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and rural settlements, illustrating the deep genealogical roots of the region. Distinctive features like the Indian Village Cem and Cartwright Cem are scattered among the timbered terrain and small creek drainages such as S Choudrant Cr and Flat Cr. Settlement patterns follow the local road network, including Parish Rd 238 and 144, which connect smaller communities like Cartwright and Indian Village to the larger surrounding area. The map reveals a high density of named family cemeteries, such as the Wright Family Cem and Old Zeigler Cem, which provide essential landmarks for researchers tracing the historical occupancy of this corner of the state.
