About this map

The confluence of the Quachita River, Tensas River, and Little River creates a complex aquatic landscape centered on the town of Jonesville. In the early 1960s, this region was defined by its relationship with these shifting waterways and the low-lying wetlands that separate them. The settlement at Trinity sits directly across the water from Jonesville, while rural life is mapped through a network of country churches such as Meyers Bend Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the Indian Mounds Lake and numerous Oil Wells, highlighting both ancient and industrial footprints. To the north and west, the terrain rises into areas of Gravel Pits and timber-dense creek beds like Brushy Creek. Smaller hamlets like Manifest, Utility, and Lismore connect the primary river hubs to the interior bayous and brakes, providing a clear view of the mid-century parish infrastructure and agricultural boundaries.
