2020 Map of Jonesville South

About this map

The Black River and Little River converge at the northern edge of this landscape, framing the settlement of Jonesville. This region is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, sloughs, and brakes, where the meandering water creates distinct geographic features like Gin Slough, Snag Lake, and Simpson Brake. The landscape is heavily marked by family and plantation history, visible through numerous burial sites including Moss Grove Plantation Cem, Security Plantation Cem, and Griffin Cem. To the south and east, smaller communities like Wildsville, Security, and Lismore are connected by local routes such as Alice N Wonderland RD and Parish RD 5b-28. The presence of the Jonesville Airport near the confluence indicates the town's role as a local hub. The boundary between Catahoula Parish and Concordia Parish runs through these waterways, illustrating how the natural hydraulic patterns have historically dictated political borders in the Louisiana delta.
