About this map

Jena and its neighboring communities are defined by a landscape deeply connected to the timber and petroleum industries of LaSalle Parish. The settlement pattern follows a distinct east-west corridor, where the historic company town of Trout and the nearby Good Pine sit along the drainage of Trout Creek. These communities reflect the industrial growth of the region, anchored by infrastructure like the Jena Airport and the local Post Office.

Beyond the central towns, the map reveals a countryside dotted with family and community landmarks such as Belah Cemetery and Mount Sinai Cemetery. The active extraction of resources is evident in the Searcy Oil Field and Trout Creek Oil Field, while the recreational and civic history of the area is represented by Camp Attakapas. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of tributaries including Bayou Funny Louis and West Prong Hemphill Creek, which have dictated the placement of rural settlements like Fellowship and Searcy.
