2021 Map of Louin

About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the boundary between Smith and Jasper counties intersects a network of rural roads and timberland. This 2021 survey documents the established settlements of Louin, Montrose, Sylvarena, and the northern edge of Bay Springs. For those tracing local heritage, the map is punctuated by numerous rural congregations and resting places, such as Warren Hill Methodist Church Cem and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense hydrographic network, including W Tallahala Cr and Thompson Br, which flow through the undulating pine forests. The inclusion of modern landmarks like Pineview Lake and Greenfree Reservoir alongside family-named cemeteries like Holden Cem and Bethel Cem provides a clear view of the area's contemporary geography and its deep historical roots.
