About this map

Jena and its neighboring timber and mill settlements define the character of this LaSalle Parish landscape. The map details the transition from the concentrated residential streets of Good Pine and Trout to the more dispersed rural communities of Searcy, Eden, and Fellowship. This region, historically rooted in the lumber industry, shows a complex network of forest roads and creek systems, including the Bayou Funny Louis and the forks of Hemphill Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds mapped here, such as Taylor Chapel Cem, Turnley Cem, and Mount Sinai Cem. The industrial and transportation history of the area is further evidenced by the Jena Airport and the grid-like residential blocks of Webb Quarters and Midway, which sit adjacent to the major local waterways and former rail corridors like Railroad Ave.
