About this map

The town of Heflin and the surrounding Webster Parish landscape are defined by the convergence of agricultural routes and the energy industry in the early 21st century. Industrial activity is prominent through the Sibley Gas and Oil Field and Lake Bistineau Gas Field, highlighting the region's economic reliance on natural resources. The western edge is dominated by the sprawling waters of Tadpole Lake, dotted with features like Nancys Island and Gusta Point. This topography reflects a complex interface between managed timberlands and the natural wetlands of the Bayou Dorcheat system.

Local history is preserved in small settlements such as Yellow Pine and Armistead, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds including Union Cem and Theus Cem. These features, connected by a dense network of parish roads like Almond Lake Rd and Saltworks Rd, provide clear evidence of long-standing rural community structures. The map also documents specific local junctions and landings, from Martin Junction to Port Boliver, that have historically anchored the area's geography.
