About this map

Keatchie and Longstreet anchor this portion of the Louisiana-Texas borderlands, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Cypress Bayou, Bushneck Bayou, and Bayou Castor. The road network reflects a history of rural commerce and transit, with specific local routes like Depot Rd in Keatchie and the Keatchie Spur indicating the importance of transportation to these small communities. Family history is well-preserved through several burial sites, including Fullalove Cem near Four Forks, the Gatlin Cem situated among the timbered bayous, and Flower Hill Cem further south.

The boundary between Caddo Parish and De Soto Parish bisects the region, marking a transition between these historic parishes. Small settlements like Kolter and the residential clusters along Paula Rd and Firetower Rd emphasize the scattered, low-density settlement patterns typical of this era, supported by a web of parish roads and agricultural spurs that navigate the low-lying creeks and bayou headwaters.
