About this map

Lake Bistineau dominates the western landscape of this Louisiana interior, its waters interrupted by numerous landforms including Nancys Island, Snake Island, and Birds Island. Along the shoreline, small points like Gusta Point and Noles Landing provide access to the complex waterway where Toulon Bayou enters from the south. The terrain transition between the lake and the agricultural lands to the east is marked by several small settlements including Yellow Pine and Port Boliver.

The boundary between Webster Parish and Bienville Parish bisects the quadrangle, with the town of Heflin serving as a significant crossroads in the northeast. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of several rural burial grounds such as Union Cem, Andrew Cem, and Tomlinson Cem. The drainage patterns of the area are defined by a network of winding creeks, notably Brushy Cr, Cooley Cr, and Davis Creek, which flow through the timbered and low-lying regions surrounding Martin Junction and Armistead.
