2018 Map of Leton

About this map

Bayou Dorcheat anchors the drainage of this north Louisiana landscape, carving a low-lying basin characterized by features like Wildcat Slough and Big Slough. The higher ground is defined by notable elevations such as Big Mound and Bull Hill, which provide relief in a region otherwise dominated by the dense woodlands of the Kisatchie National Forest. This 2018 survey reveals a rural network of roads and family-named landmarks, such as Hodge Cem and Saint Luke Cem, which are essential markers for genealogists tracing roots in the settlement of Leton. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of timberland and agriculture, where parish roads like Parish Rd 256 connect isolated homesteads and community landmarks. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are further shaped by the winding paths of Flat Lick Bayou and Fiddler Cr, reflecting the intricate hydrology of Webster Parish.
