2012 Map of Hudson

About this map

Gaars Mill and the settlement of Hudson anchor this central Louisiana landscape, where the local economy is deeply tied to the land's natural resources. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Kiesche Cr and its tributary Little Kiesche Cr, while Hurricane Cr and Flat Cr drain the northern reaches. The extraction industry is prominent here, evidenced by the presence of the Beech Creek Gas Field and the Joyce Oil Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as the Hatten Cemetery in the northeast and McCarty Cem near the southern boundary. This 2012 survey illustrates a region largely partitioned by a grid of parish roads, reflecting a rural structure maintained by agricultural and energy interests near the Winn and Jackson parish lines.
