2024 Map of Langston

About this map

The boundary between Webster and Claiborne Parishes defines this rural landscape, characterized by the winding path of Black Lake Bayou and its numerous tributaries. Settled pockets like Langston are surrounded by family history, evident in the high density of small burial grounds such as Miller Family Cem, Lee Family Cem, and Martin Family Cem. The western edge of the area is occupied by the protected woodlands of the Kisatchie National Forest, where drainage systems like Cooley Branch and Sugar Creek carve through the terrain. A network of parish roads, including Parish Rd 180 and Germantown Rd, connects these isolated communities and historic sites. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the persistent rural layout of Northern Louisiana, where names like Mount Zion Cem and Germantown Cem anchor the landscape to its ancestral roots.
