About this map

The boundary between Caddo Parish and De Soto Parish bisects this rural landscape, which is defined by a network of bayous and scattered agricultural communities. The settlement of Keatchie (alternately labeled Keachi) serves as a local hub, connected to the surrounding countryside by a web of parish roads such as Keatchie Rd and Depot Rd. To the north, Four Forks marks a distinct crossroads near Cypress Bayou, while Longstreet sits near the southern edge of the survey area.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and historical burial sites, including Fullilove Cemetery in the north and Flower Hill Cemetery to the southeast. The natural drainage of the region is traced by the winding courses of Bushneck Bayou and Bayou Castor, which flow through the low-lying terrain. The map also records small locales such as Kolter and the Gatlin Cemetery, illustrating the persistent footprint of small rural settlements in northwestern Louisiana.
