About this map

Settlements of Czech heritage define this pocket of Rapides Parish, where the communities of Libuse and Kolin serve as cultural anchors. The landscape is dotted with several dedicated burial grounds, including the Libuse Czech Cem and the Czech National Cem, reflecting the specific immigrant history of the area. These settlements are established on the higher ground north of the Red River basin, separated by a network of small waterways like Brushy Fork and Little Horsepen Creek.

Transitioning from the residential expansion of Pineville in the west to more rural stretches in the east, the area maintains a distinct character through its local landmarks. The Philadelphia Baptist Church and its associated Philadelphia Baptist Church Cem stand near the intersection of several local routes. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly influenced by the river system, featuring low-lying areas around Wiggins Bayou and Tanyard Lake.
