About this map

The town of Eros anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated at the intersection of a state highway and an Old Grade roadbed. This early 1980s topography reveals a rural landscape defined by parish boundaries, where Jackson Parish, Lincoln Parish, and Ouachita Parish converge. The area is heavily influenced by the extraction industry, marked by the extensive Calhoun Gas and Oil Field and Cheniere Gas Field, alongside numerous pipelines and active gas wells.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Old Bryan Cem, Old Zeigler Cem, and Bonett Cem. Small communities like Cartwright and Indian Village are identified by their namesake churches, such as Cartwright Ch, and local gathering spots like the Walters Picnic Area near the Calhoun Lookout Tower. The drainage of the region is complex, with Choudrant Creek and its many tributaries, including Schoolhouse Branch and Huey Branch, carving through the terrain.
