2015 Map of Jonesville South

About this map

The Black River and Little River converge at Jonesville, a significant navigational junction in the Louisiana delta country. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous bayous and sloughs like Fourmile Bayou and Gin Slough thread through the low-lying terrain. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries and plantation-affiliated burial grounds, including the Security Plantation Cem and Moss Grove Plantation Cem, which serve as vital markers of the region's agricultural and social history. Moving south from Jonesville, the small settlements of Security, Omega, and Lismore follow the natural levees and road networks like La-124, while the interior remains a mosaic of oxbow lakes such as Tronsel Lake and Snag Lake. This geography reflects a way of life deeply tied to the shifting river channels and the fertile, if flood-prone, alluvial soils of Catahoula and Concordia Parishes.
