About this map

The Ouachita River defines the landscape of this Louisiana quadrangle, winding past the village of Harrisonburg and the riverside settlement at Stafford Point. The river’s path is flanked by a complex network of seasonal waterways and oxbow remnants, including Sargent Lake, Stafford Lake, and Onemile Bayou. This low-lying terrain in the Mississippi alluvial plain is crisscrossed by family-named routes such as L L McGuffee Rd, Horace Patten Rd, and Boothe Cemetary Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted local heritage of Catahoula Parish.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks such as the Harrisonburg Cem near the town center and the Boothe Cem further north. The map documents the intricate hydrography of the region, where Big Bayou, Straight Bayou, and Bayou Louis create a deltaic environment. These water bodies, along with smaller tributaries like Gustis Creek and Rawson Creek, dictate the placement of roads and settlements, illustrating how the natural flow of the river continues to shape the community's layout.
