About this map

The settlement of Lisbon serves as a focal point for this rural Claiborne Parish survey, situated among the complex drainage network of northern Louisiana. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Bayou D'Arbonne and its numerous tributaries, including Fivemile Creek and Sandy Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, with small clusters of development like Sharon and several unmarked Cem sites distributed along the ridges between the creek bottoms.

Evidence of local infrastructure and community life is found in the presence of a Po and a dense network of pipelines and unimproved roads that cut across the terrain. The border between Claiborne Parish and Lincoln Parish is noted in the southeast, where Turkey Creek and Mulberry Creek converge. This 1980s data reflects a quiet, resource-oriented landscape where the physical environment of creeks and bayous remains the primary influence on settlement patterns.
