2020 Map of Marion West

About this map

Oakland and the western edge of Marion define the human landscape of this north-central Louisiana parish at the turn of the decade. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as Post Mill Rd and Tiger Bend Rd that connect rural homesteads and timberlands between significant watercourses like Big Cane Cr and Beaver Cr. This area is characterized by numerous family and community landmarks, including Antioch Cem and the Old Tennessee Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing roots in Union Parish. The drainage pattern of the Tick Cr and Meridian Cr systems illustrates the terrain that shaped early settlement and later agricultural developments in this region near the state line.
