2015 Map of Marsalis

About this map

Lake Claiborne and the winding course of Bayou D'Arbonne dominate the northern landscape of this Claiborne Parish survey. The settlement of Marsalis serves as a central point in a network of rural roads that connect family-named cemeteries and small community centers. To the west, the community of Tulip and its nearby Tulip Cem sit near Marsalis Ponds, while Point Pleasant and Aycock anchor the central and northeastern regions. This terrain is defined by a dense web of creeks including Sugar Creek, White Cr, and Butler Cr, which carve through the timbered hills. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of legacy burial grounds like Gee Cem, Sapp Cem, and Craighead Cem, providing a detailed look at the parish's rural settlement patterns in the mid-2010s.
