2018 Map of Heflin

About this map

Heflin and Yellow Pine anchor this portion of the Louisiana landscape, situated where the eastern woodlands meet the intricate shoreline of Lake Bistineau. The map reveals a transition from the structured town grid of Heflin to the water-dependent landings and points along the lake, such as Port Boliver and Noles Landing. For genealogists and local researchers, the area is notably dotted with several family and community burial grounds, including Union Cem, Andrews Chapel Cem, and Tomlinson Cem, many of which are tucked away at the ends of rural routes like Willis Rd and Tillman Church Rd. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage features like Toulon Bayou and Brushy Cr, while the shoreline is broken by prominent features such as Snake Island and Gusta Point. This topography highlights the historical importance of the lake for both navigation and settlement in Webster and Bienville Parishes.
