About this map

De Soto Parish and Sabine Parish boundaries meet in this 1938 survey of northwestern Louisiana, a region defined by its dispersed rural communities and winding creek networks. Small country congregations form the social backbone of the landscape, including Zions Rest Ch, Union Grove Ch, and Blue Ridge Ch. The topography is etched by numerous drainages such as Wallace Bayou and Hollis Creek, which feed into the larger bayou systems of the Red River valley.

Transport is facilitated by a grid of state-maintained routes, most notably State Highway No 180 and State Highway No 607, while the Texas and Pacific Road cuts across the southwest corner. Local education and memory are preserved in labels for the Lovick Sch, St Pauls Sch, and family burial grounds like the Fleming Cem and Mc Cartney Cem, offering significant detail for genealogical research in this pre-war era.
