2015 Map of Libuse

About this map

Settlements such as Libuse and Kolin reflect the distinct cultural heritage of central Louisiana, where various immigrant communities established roots. The landscape is shaped by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Wiggins Bayou and Horsepen Cr, which feed into the Red River at the southern edge. The distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as the Libuse Czech Cem and Czech National Cem, provides a map of local lineage and the enduring presence of these settlements. Rural roads like Donahue Ferry Rd and Philadelphia Rd connect these pocket communities to the growing edge of Pineville. To the south, numerous small water bodies like Buttonwood Lake, Tanyard Lake, and Williams Lake characterize the low-lying terrain near the bayou system.
