2015 Map of Hollis Creek

About this map

Dobs Crossing serves as a primary reference point in this transition zone between Sabine, De Soto, and Natchitoches Parishes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the southwest, including Bayou San Miguel, Hollis Creek, and the winding Bayou Terre Blanc. This hydrology-heavy terrain is crisscrossed by numerous local roads bearing family names, suggesting a deeply rooted rural community structure. Genealogy researchers will find McCartney Cem situated in the eastern portion of the survey area, while the placement of Lockes Ponds and various creek forks like N Fork San Miguel Cr reveal the specific natural landmarks used to navigate this corner of Louisiana. The convergence of multiple parish lines near Wallace Bayou reflects the complex jurisdictional boundaries that have shaped local land ownership and records for generations.
