About this map

Minden serves as the focal point of this survey, with the Webster Parish Courthouse anchoring the town center near several historical burial grounds like Minden Cem and Sheppard Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bayou Dorcheat, which flows southward through the center of the sheet towards Lake Bistineau. This waterway, historically a vital transport artery for Webster Parish, is flanked by smaller settlements such as Dixie Inn and Gifford, as well as an ancient Indian Mound located near the northern reaches of the lake.

Transportation infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Kansas City Southern Ry and a network of parish roads connecting rural communities. To the south, the junction at Sibley and the nearby village of Dubberly illustrate the area's ongoing residential patterns. The map also documents numerous family and community landmarks, including the Antioch Church Cem and Keene Cem, reflecting a deeply rooted local genealogy across the lowlands of Loggy Bayou.
