2024 Map of Marion East

About this map

The Upper Ouachita National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern landscape of this Union Parish survey, preserving the bottomlands where Cecil Creek and Glaze Creek flow toward the Ouachita River basin. The settlement pattern is defined by a network of rural routes such as State Rte 826 and Lasco Langston Rd, connecting small communities like Sadie, Litroe, and Dean. Local genealogy is anchored by several historic burial grounds, including the Saint Paul Cem Number 2 and the Reppond-Pace Cem. Near the southern edge, the town of Marion serves as a local hub, situated at the junction of routes leading through a terrain of low hills and wetland drainages. The map reveals the persistence of family-named landmarks and rural church sites like the Dean Baptist Church Cem, which remain central to the community's geographic identity.
