2018 Map of Minden South

About this map

Bayou Dorcheat meanders through the center of this Webster Parish landscape, shaping the geography between Minden and Sibley. The bottomlands and marshes north of Lake Bistineau are punctuated by named landmarks like Goat Island and Little Crane Island, reflecting the influence of the local waterway system on regional movement and land use. This area represents a crossroads of the Kansas City Southern railroad and major regional roads, connecting established communities like Dubberly and Dixie Inn. Numerous small family and memorial burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including Fuller Memorial Shrine Cem and the more remote Knottingham Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research. The map illustrates a developed rural landscape where residential streets in the southern portion of Minden give way to the sprawling natural drainages of Boone Cr and Brushy Cr.
