2012 Map of Gibsland

About this map

Gibsland serves as the central hub of this northern Louisiana landscape, where the local street grid intersects with a network of rural roads and parish routes. To the south, the historic community of Mount Lebanon stands near the headwaters of Frazier Cr, while the settlements of Taylor and Phillips lie to the west along the rail corridor. The map reveals a heavily dendritic drainage pattern characterized by numerous named branches and creeks, such as Black Lake Cr and Leatherman Cr, which snake through the varied terrain. Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Caldwell Cem in the north and Whitley Cem near the central drainage basins. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where timberlands and small agricultural plots are divided by long-established thoroughfares like Old Arcadia Rd and Iron Bridge Rd.
