2022 Map of Latex

About this map

Latex sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned directly on the border where Harrison County meets Caddo Parish along the Texas-Louisiana state line. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Ashby Family Cem, Green Family Cem, and the Old Border Cem, which speak to the deep-rooted genealogical history of these rural parishes. The terrain is crisscrossed by a network of waterways including Republican Bayou, Piney Bayou, and Watson Bayou, which drain into larger features like Bullard Creek. A diverse road network, from established routes like FM 1999 and FM 134 to local connectors like Blanchard Latex Rd and Republic Church Rd, links scattered homesteads and landmarks like Coushatta Spring, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of the Piney Woods region.
