About this map

Jamestown and Sparta anchor this 1949 topographic study of the rolling pinelands and bottomlands where Webster and Bienville Parishes meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Black Lake Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Leatherman Creek and Brushy Creek. This era of Louisiana history is marked here by a high density of rural institutions, from the Ebenezer Sch and Baltimore Sch to the Rosenwald Sch, reflecting the segregated educational infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
