About this map

The Dugdemona River basin dominates this mid-1980s landscape, where a series of industrial and residential nodes follow the primary transit corridors of northern Jackson Parish. In the south, the industrial infrastructure of Hodge and East Hodge is prominent, featuring significant utility footprints like the Sewage Treatment Plant and Sewage Lagoon near the riverbanks. The settlement pattern extends northward through Punkin Center toward Quitman, reflecting the traditional logging and agrarian layout of the region.

Large portions of the northwestern territory are dedicated to the Jackson Bienville Wildlife Management Area, preserved as a buffer of managed forest and creek bottoms including Sugar Creek and Cypress Bayou. Smaller communities like Hilltop and Beech Springs represent the more dispersed rural clusters that define the hills above the Little Willow Creek drainage. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the Black Pond wetlands and the growing residential outskirts of Jonesboro.
