About this map

Avoyelles Parish's intricate water network defines this landscape, where the meandering Bayou des Glaises and La Vieille Riviere cut through the low-lying terrain. The transition from the settled areas of Marksville and Mansura into the wetlands of the Spring Bayou State Wildlife Management Area is clearly marked by the shift from grid-like agricultural tracts to the organic shapes of Lac aux Perles and Lac Spring Bayou. For those researching family history, several significant landmarks are noted, including St Joseph Cem, St Pauls Ch, and the Jerusalem Cem. The map documents the early 1980s infrastructure of central Louisiana, from the Marksville Municipal Airport to the small communities of Hessmer and Cottonport, providing a look at the rural landscape before modern development altered these historic corridors.
