2024 Map of Holly

About this map

Frierson and Holly anchor this De Soto Parish landscape, where the winding tributaries of the Red River basin define the local topography. This modern survey illustrates a rural corridor characterized by dispersed settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Francois Cem and the Mount Mariah Church Cem. The drainage patterns of McGee Bayou and Bayou Na Bonchasse dominate the central and southern sections, revealing how water management and natural lowlands have shaped land use. The road network, including State Rte 5 and numerous parish roads like Bethel Rd, connects these small communities to the surrounding timber and agricultural lands of northwest Louisiana. Genealogists will find the detailed locations of rural churches and cemeteries particularly valuable for tracing local family histories in this region.
