2020 Map of Hortman

About this map

Bossier and Webster Parishes meet along a landscape defined by meandering waterways and numerous small burial grounds. The settlement of Hortman is situated in the northeastern quadrant, while the surrounding area is woven together by a network of rural roads such as Cottonwood Rd and Bellevue Rd. The terrain is dominated by the intricate hydrology of Bodcau Creek and Clarke Bayou, which create a complex drainage system across the low-lying bottomlands. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of family and church burial sites, including Growing Valley Church Cem, Bright Star Church Cem, and the more isolated Baten Cem. The presence of Bellevue Oilfield Rd suggests the local importance of the petroleum industry, while names like International Paper Rd point toward the role of timber and paper production in the region's 21st-century economy.
