2018 Map of Ivan

About this map

The small community of Ivan serves as a central point in this rural Bossier Parish landscape, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of creeks and drainage sloughs. Water features such as Bounds Br, Phillips Cr, and Caney Cr wind through the township lines of T21N and T22N, feeding into larger systems like Ivan Lake. The area is notably marked by several family and community burial grounds, including the Smith-Gilmer Cem and Emma Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local heritage. Toward the southern portion of the map, the drainage patterns become more pronounced near Crossway Slu and Young Br, reflecting the low-lying nature of the region. Local roads like Pilkinton Rd and Whittington Rd connect these dispersed landmarks, tracing the historical movement of residents between the woods and water.
