About this map

Jena serves as the primary hub on this recent survey, situated where the terrain transitions toward the complex water systems of LaSalle Parish and Catahoula Parish. The map reveals a landscape defined by its creek network, with Hemphill Creek and Rhinehart Creek cutting through the southern sections. Distinctive landmarks such as Poverty Knob and the Sandy Hollow provide topographical context to the area's rural character.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Dempsey Cem, Penecost Cem, and Moseley Cem, scattered among the small communities of Routon, Blade, and Whitehall. The eastern edge of the quadrangle marks the settlement of Rhinehart near the parish boundary, where the drainage of Tar Kiln Branch and Lacy Branch feeds into the surrounding lowland basins.
