About this map

Holum and the surrounding piney wetlands of the Louisiana interior appear in this 2020 landscape, where the parish boundaries of Caldwell, LaSalle, and Catahoula converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding course of Black Bayou and the prominent Bayou Dan Hills to the east. The map records several small burial grounds tied to local families and congregations, such as Little Star Cem, Lowe Cem, and Pine Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this rural region.

A transition from bottomland to upland is evident as the drainage of Chickasaw Cr and Bayou Funny Louis carves through the timbered tracts. The local infrastructure is characterized by specialized roads like Hardscrabble Ranch Rd and Laffoon Cutoff, reflecting the land's use for agriculture and ranching. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Rosefield sits near the headwaters of Bayou Dan, illustrating the long-standing settlement patterns of the north-central Louisiana hill country.
