About this map

The Ouachita River meanders through the eastern portion of this landscape, defining a complex system of wetlands and brakes typical of the northern Louisiana floodplain. Near Coco Bend, the river interacts with a network of water bodies including Cutoff Bayou and Lake Lafitta, reflecting the dynamic nature of this riparian environment. The western uplands are home to small rural communities like Luna and Cypress, which are connected by a grid of secondary roads and local routes such as Pine Bluff Rd and Ted Williamson Rd.

Family history researchers will find several well-distributed burial sites across the territory, including Saint Pauls Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Furlow Cem. The interior is characterized by extensive water features like Watson Brake and Prairion Brake, suggesting a terrain heavily shaped by seasonal hydrology. The map captures the boundary between Ouachita Parish and Caldwell Parish, marking a transition in local jurisdiction across the timbered bottomlands and bayous.
