2012 Map of Holum

About this map

Holum anchors this portion of Caldwell Parish, a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber-rich bottomlands. The area is characterized by slow-moving drainages like Black Bayou and Chickasaw Cr, which snake through the terrain alongside newer industrial developments. The presence of the Holum Lookout Tower suggests a history of forest management and fire watch, while the Pistol Thicket Gas Field and Rabbit Branch Gas Field indicate the local economic reliance on subterranean resources. For those tracing local families, several small burial grounds are identified, including Little Star Cem and Tingle Cem. The southern reach of the map features the distinctive Laffoon Cutoff and the uniquely named Bayou Funny Louis, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Louisiana piney woods and bayou country as it appeared in the early 21st century.
