About this map

Bayou Dorcheat and its intricate network of tributaries, including Black Bayou and Flat Lick Bayou, dominate this portion of Webster Parish. The landscape is a complex system of bottomlands and ridges, featuring prominent elevations like Big Mound and Bull Hill. The northern settlement of Leton serves as a local hub, connected by a web of rural routes such as Leton Cutoff Rd and Rodney Martin Rd.

Cultural history is preserved in small, localized sites like Saint Luke Cem, Hodge Cem, and Crow Cem, while the southern reaches of the map extend into the Kisatchie National Forest. This 2015 survey illustrates a region defined by its drainage patterns, with names like Wildcat Slough, Big Slough, and Davis Slough suggesting the historically wet nature of the terrain. Traces of community infrastructure appear in labels such as Evergreen School Rd, marking the locations of earlier rural social centers.
