2020 Map of Little Creek

About this map

Little River defines the western edge of this central Louisiana landscape, marking the winding border between Grant Parish and LaSalle Parish. In the north, the community of Little Creek and nearby Ganeyville sit atop higher ground, while the southern reaches descend into a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies. The land here is deeply shaped by timber and energy extraction, visible through a dense grid of Oil-Field Rd and Tram Rd segments that crisscross the terrain near Bayou Funny Louis. Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds, including Chalk Hill Cem and Hawthorne Cem, which serve as lasting markers of early settlement. From the heights of Doughty Bluff down to the low-lying Big Bend, the map reveals a traditional Southern riverine economy transitioning between forest management and petroleum production.
