About this map

Lake Claiborne dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its sprawling shoreline reaching into the hills of Claiborne Parish. The settlement of Marsalis serves as a central point in a region defined by small communities and family landmarks. This 2020 survey records a network of rural roads such as Hodges Plant Rd and Buck Prince that connect dispersed settlements like Tulip, Aycock, and Point Pleasant.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented here, including Saint John Baptist Cem, Point Pleasant Cem, and Gee Family Cem. The terrain is drained by several named waterways like Bayou D'Arbonne and White Cr, which wind through the timbered sections of the parish. These physical features, combined with the presence of Craighead Pond and Marsalis Ponds, illustrate the vital role of water in the geography of this northern Louisiana territory.
