2024 Map of Holum

About this map

Holum and the nearby Rosefield community sit within a landscape defined by the intersection of three Louisiana parishes. This 2024 survey documents the dense network of drainage systems cutting through the Bayou Dan Hills, where Black Bayou and Bayou Funny Louis dictate the local topography. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed settlement, with family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Little Star Cem, Tingle Cem, and Pine Grove Cem serving as significant points for genealogical research. The complex parish boundaries between Caldwell Parish and LaSalle Parish and LaSalle Parish and Catahoula Parish are precisely delineated, showing how administrative lines navigate the winding courses of Chickasaw Creek and Neal Branch. Numerous logging and parish roads, including Ip 44 RD and Laffoon Cutoff, provide a detailed record of modern access across this timber-rich terrain.
