About this map

Kisatchie National Forest lands dominate the western portion of this Webster Parish landscape, where the terrain is bisected by the meandering Black Lake Bayou. Small, established communities like Germantown and Holly Springs are connected by a network of rural roads, many of which carry family names that provide a window into the area's social history. The map's southern edge is defined by the Webster Parish and Claiborne Parish boundary, showing the physical division between these jurisdictions as it crosses Kemp Rd and Harris Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burial grounds, including the Mount Zion Cem, Alexander Cem, and Martin Cem. The transition from forest to farming is visible through labels like Langston, where the intersection of Sanders Rd and Otis Frye Rd serves as a local landmark. Waterways such as Cooley Br and Choctaw Cr drain the timbered uplands, feeding into the central bayou system.
