2020 Map of Longstreet

About this map

Longstreet and Funston serve as the primary hubs in this section of DeSoto Parish, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Bushneck Bayou, Bayou Castor, and Canadian Bayou. This rural area is characterized by a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly evident in its numerous cemeteries and local congregations. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, ranging from the central Longstreet Memorial Cem to smaller, family-oriented locations like the Ferguson Family Cem, Williams Family Cem, and Chreene Cem. Religious life is anchored by centers such as Smyrna Church and the Cornerstone Church. The map details the local infrastructure through roads like Wood Springs Rd and Parish Rd 92, illustrating a settlement pattern that remains closely tied to the region's natural waterways and long-standing family landholdings.
