About this map

Little River winds through a complex landscape of backwater lakes and winding bayous in this 2012 survey of central Louisiana. The settlement of Fishville serves as a focal point near the southwestern corner, situated near Camp Mary Lee and Camp Windywood. To the northeast, the historic area of White Sulphur Springs is marked along the road network, while the river itself creates dramatic features like Alligator Bend and Pelican Point.

The watery terrain is defined by a dense network of named oxbows and sloughs, including Hardwater Lake, Goose Lake, and the curiously named Fool River. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as Whatley Cem, Friendship Cem, and Leckie Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Old river crossings and landings, such as Thompson Ferry and Bodie Landing Rd, suggest the historical importance of the river for local transportation and commerce before modern infrastructure dominated the region.
