About this map

Jonesboro and the industrial corridor of Hodge anchor the southern edge of this Jackson Parish landscape, where the Dugdemona River and its tributaries carve through the timberlands. The cluster of North Hodge, East Hodge, and the paper mill site at Hodge highlights the region's historical reliance on forest products and manufacturing. Moving north, the map reveals a network of small, scattered communities like Punkin Center, Hilltop, and Quitman, each defined by crossroads and long-established local institutions.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including the Quitman First Baptist Cem, the Jimmie Davis Tabernacle Cem, and the Antioch Cem. The rural character is reinforced by numerous parish roads winding between water features such as Cypress Bayou, Little Dugdemona River, and Black Pond. This layout demonstrates a traditional North Louisiana settlement pattern where family-named landmarks and rural churches formed the backbone of community life.
