2018 Map of Jena East

About this map

Jena serves as the focal point of this LaSalle Parish landscape, where the town’s street grid meets the winding courses of Hemphill Creek and Hair Cr. The region is defined by a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the high concentration of burial grounds such as Jackson Cem, Dempsey Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. Moving east toward the boundary with Catahoula Parish, the terrain shifts into a series of named drainages like Flat Cr and Lacy Br, which carve through the elevations near Poverty Knob. Small settlements and named locales such as Routon, Blade, and Whitehall are connected by a web of local routes including Old Harrisonburg Rd and Blade Loop Rd, reflecting a long-standing pattern of rural habitation and timber-country navigation along the southern edge of the survey.
