2020 Map of Haynesville West

About this map

Haynesville anchors the eastern edge of this Claiborne Parish landscape, where the town grid meets a network of parish roads and winding bayous. The area is defined by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Whitehall African American Cem and Whitehall Cem near Dykesville. These sites, along with others like Old Town Cem and Ward Chapel Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this rural corridor. The terrain is shaped by the drainage systems of Black Bayou and Indian Cr, which cut through the low ridges of north Louisiana. To the west, the boundary between Webster Parish and Claiborne Parish runs north to south, passing near the small settlement of Millerton. The map documents a landscape of traditional land divisions, where oil field infrastructure and timber roads share space with long-established rural churches like Pleasant Grove Cem.
