About this map

Kingston and Holly sit at the center of this DeSoto Parish landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by the winding paths of several bayous. The northern edge is anchored by Frierson, while the rural surroundings are dotted with legacy sites such as Evergreen Cem, Saint Marks Cem, and Slone Cem. These burial grounds serve as important markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of this corner of Louisiana.

The physical geography is heavily influenced by the drainage networks of Bayou Na Bonchasse and Little Bayou Na Bonchasse to the south, while McGee Bayou and Caney Bayou cut through the central sections. The road network, including Red Bluff Rd and State Rte 5, connects these small communities and highlights the transition between agricultural land and the natural creek beds like Greenwood Cr and Sylvest Cr.
