2012 Map of Minden South

About this map

Minden and the surrounding Webster Parish landscape are defined by the winding course of Bayou Dorcheat and its many tributaries, such as Cooley Br and Brushy Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the organized grid of the city to the marshy lowlands of Tadpole Lake and the islands of Goat Island and Little Crane Island. Historically significant sites are frequent across the map, including a noted Indian Mound and a high density of family and community burial grounds like Overton Cem and Knottingham Cem. The transportation network connects the smaller settlements of Dixie Inn, Gifford, McIntyre, and Sibley, showing the ongoing spatial relationship between these communities and the wetland environment of the bayou system.
