About this map

Farmerville serves as the focal point of this Union Parish survey, situated just north of the recently formed Bayou D'Arbonne Lake. The landscape is a complex network of timberlands and drainage basins, defined by the winding course of Bayou de Loutre and its numerous tributaries like Little Judy Creek and Owl Creek. The northern border marks the transition into Arkansas, where Donaghey State Park is located.

Industry and local community life are well-documented through the presence of the Truxno Oil Field and dozens of rural institutions. Genealogists can locate numerous family-connected landmarks such as Laran Cem, Old Tennessee Cem, and the Mt Olive Sch. The map also captures several small communities like Marion and Conway, each anchored by a dense concentration of country churches including Bethel Ch and Zion Hill Ch.
