2012 Map of Hortman

About this map

The Bellevue Oil and Gas Field anchors the southwestern corner of this Webster Parish landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets a dense network of bayous and creeks. Reached by Bellevue Oilfield Rd, this area contrasts with the more rural settlement of Hortman to the northeast. The terrain is defined by complex water systems, including the wide wetlands of Bodcau Cr and the winding paths of Clarke Bayou and Pigeon Roost Bayou. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed in its placement of local burial grounds, ranging from Edwards Cem in the north to Ratcliff Cem and Baten Cem in the southeast. Named local routes like International Paper Rd and Doc Steed Rd provide specific locational data for family researchers and those tracing the parish’s road development and land divisions into the early 21st century.
