2024 Map of Little Creek

About this map

Little Creek and Ganeyville sit atop the ridges of the Louisiana pinewoods where the Grant Parish and LaSalle Parish line bisects the bottomlands. This landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Little River, which feeds a series of oxbow lakes and brakes including Horseshoe Lake, Blue Lake, and Nugent Brake. The network of timber and petroleum access roads, such as Oil Field Rd and Chalk Hill Cemetery Rd, reflects the area's industrial reliance on the surrounding forest and underlying resources. Historical transit points are still noted along the river, including Campbells Ferry and Rambeaus Ferry, marking where travelers once crossed the water before modern infrastructure. Higher ground is marked by landmarks like Doughty Bluff and local burial sites such as Chalk Hill Cem and Hawthorne Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for family historians and genealogists in this part of central Louisiana.
