2018 Map of Gloster

About this map

Stonewall and the surrounding DeSoto Parish landscape are defined by a network of bayous and rural settlements as they appeared in the late 2010s. The area is anchored by the community of Gloster and the small crossroads of Kickapoo, with the Trinity Cem serving as a local genealogical landmark. This part of Louisiana's interior features a dense web of parish roads and family-named lanes that cut through a terrain drained by Sand Bayou, Edwards Bayou, and Caney Bayou. The presence of established parish boundaries and numerous named roads like Red Bluff Rd and Myrtle Hill Rd illustrates the long-standing land divisions in this region. Genealogists and local historians can use these contemporary surveys to identify modern access to older landmarks like Brinkley Pond or to trace property lines that have persisted since the early township and range surveys.
