About this map

The settlement of Holum anchors the northern portion of this landscape at the intersection of several local routes. This mid-1980s survey captures a rural territory defined by its dense network of waterways, where the parish lines of Caldwell, La Salle, and Catahoula converge. The topography is intricately carved by several drainages, most notably Funny Louis Bayou and Chickasaw Creek, which flow through the wooded terrain.

Evidence of local history is preserved in the small Cem sites found near established roads, while the presence of a Pipeline indicates the industrial infrastructure threading through the region's timber and bottomlands. Other significant water features like Bayou Dan and Black Bayou further illustrate the hydrology of this Louisiana interior, providing essential reference points for genealogists tracing family lands or land-use historians studying the evolution of parish boundaries.
