About this map

Minden and its northern surroundings in Webster Parish are defined by the convergence of pine forest and significant water systems. Portions of the Kisatchie National Forest dominate the central and eastern sections, providing a backdrop for Upper Caney Lake and Lower Caney Lake, which form the centerpiece of the Caney Lakes recreational area. The western edge of the map is marked by the winding path of Bayou Dorcheat, which flows southward through a landscape dotted with small, long-standing communities such as Grove, Dorcheat, and Long Springs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history markers, with numerous burial grounds including Walker Cem, Allen Cem, and the Garden of Memory Cem near the Minden Airport. Smaller settlements like Gilark, Pace, and Grim appear along the web of rural roads, such as Dorcheat Rd and Blue Run Rd. The terrain is also punctuated by smaller drainages like Sausman Creek and Mile Cr, which carve through the woodlands surrounding the northern reaches of the city.
