About this map

Minden and its southern environs serve as a center for industry and transportation in Webster Parish during the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Louisiana And Arkansas and Illinois Central Gulf railroads, which facilitated the region's heavy extraction and manufacturing economy. To the west, the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant occupies a significant portion of the territory, while the central corridor is marked by extensive Gravel Pit operations along the margins of Bayou Dorcheat. This bayou flows southward into Lake Bistineau, where Goat Island and Little Crane Island sit at the northern reaches of the lake. Local genealogy is well-documented through a dense network of country burial grounds, including the Knottingham Cem, Keene Cem, and Overton Cem, many situated near small settlements like Dixie Inn and McIntyre.
