About this map

Jonesboro serves as the focal point of this North Louisiana landscape, anchored by the Jackson Parish Courthouse and the nearby Jonesboro Airport. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Garrett Creek, Antwine Creek, and Big Creek, which weave through the timberlands and rural properties south of the parish seat. The settlement pattern follows a series of parish roads that connect established communities like Wyatt and Gansville to the larger town center.

For genealogists and local historians, the area is rich with family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds. Small, dispersed cemeteries such as Gayla Traina Memorial Cem, Spring Hill Cem, and the Garden of Memories Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, often situated near rural crossroads. The transition across the south from Jackson Parish into Winn Parish is marked by the course of Caney Creek, illustrating the early political and geographical boundaries that shaped this part of the state.
