2018 Map of Haynesville West

About this map

Haynesville serves as the focal point for this western portion of the Louisiana-Arkansas borderlands, showing a landscape defined by small settlements and a network of parish roads. The terrain is structured by several key watercourses, including Indian Cr and Little Indian Cr in the north and the larger Black Bayou to the south. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural landscape, visible through numerous ancestral burial grounds such as Ward Chapel Cem and Shady Grove Cem. The presence of Old Town Cem and the settlement of Millerton suggest the long-standing community structure of Claiborne Parish. Further south, Dykesville and the topographic prominence of Duncan Hill mark the transition toward the Webster Parish line. This survey captures the region's character as a blend of wooded creeks and established rural road systems that have connected these family-centered communities for generations.
