About this map

Las Ormigas Grant Lot No 4 anchors the southern landscape of this De Soto Parish survey, showcasing a complex network of waterways that defined land use in the mid-1980s. The small settlements of Hunter and Lula are positioned near the western and southern margins, respectively, connected by a system of unimproved roads and trails. Evidence of former transportation infrastructure appears in the north with the Old RR Grade, tracing a path near Clemar Creek and Baget Creek.

A notable geographic density of bayous and creeks characterizes the area, with Bull Bayou winding through the central terrain while Cypress Bayou and Duke Bayou drain the eastern reaches. Local history is marked by small details such as a rural Cem and a Pump Station located near Jackson Creek. The drainage patterns, including Moccasin Bayou and Cow Bayou, illustrate the swampy, low-lying nature of this corner of Louisiana.
