About this map

The community of Fryeburg and the nearby settlement of Lawhon sit at the center of this Bienville Parish landscape, which is defined by a complex network of bayous and energy production fields. The local economy is tied to the land, evidenced by the Jamestown Gas Field in the southwest and the Ada Oil and Gas Field in the northeast. This 2012 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure, such as the Charlie Airport, integrates with the traditional topography of north Louisiana.

Water defines the geography, with Black Lake Bayou and its many tributaries, including Bashaway Cr, Mud Br, and Leatherman Cr, cutting through the terrain. Family and community heritage are anchored at locations like Walker Cem and Game Cem, while the road network—including Mims Grocery Rd and Shepherd Town Rd—points to the historical distribution of local commerce and small rural centers. The map provides a detailed look at the transition from timbered wetlands like Clear Lake to the active drilling sites that characterize the modern region.
