About this map

Lake Claiborne dominates the northern reaches of this Claiborne Parish landscape, with the Lake Claiborne St Park providing a structured recreational anchor along the shoreline. The terrain south of the water is a network of rural communities including Marsalis, Aycock, Point Pleasant, and Tulip. This area is characterized by a mix of agricultural land and timber, punctuated by the industrial presence of the Lisbon Oil Field and the Sugar Creek Oil and Gas Field.

Family history is well-preserved through several scattered burial grounds such as Point Pleasant Cem, Tulip Cem, and Craighead Cem. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous creeks like Butler Cr, White Cr, and Sugar Creek, which feed into the larger Bayou D'Arbonne system. Roads such as Arizona Rd and Buck Prince Rd link the small settlements to the surrounding oil and gas operations, reflecting the parish's long-standing connection to the petroleum industry.
