2020 Map of Jamestown

About this map

Jamestown and Castor anchor this central Bienville Parish landscape, where the terrain is defined by the intricate wetlands and waterways of Black Lake Bayou and Fourmile Bayou. The map reveals a rural geography heavily shaped by water management and local transit, notably featuring the Kepler Creek Lake reservoir and the Kepler Dam Rd that regulates it. This 2020 survey is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several burial grounds including Mount Olive Cem and New Friendship Cem. The road network, including names like Sailes Firetower Rd and Sikes Orchard Rd, suggests a landscape historically tied to timber and agriculture. To the north, the small settlement of Lawhon sits near the parish line, while the southern reach of the quadrangle is marked by the concentrated area around Castor.
