2015 Map of Mount Olive

About this map

Mount Olive sits at the center of this rural landscape where the headwaters of the Dugdemona River and Little Dugdemona River define the local drainage. This area of North Louisiana is characterized by a dense network of parish roads and small communities such as New Friendship, English, and Lakefield. The terrain is marked by significant creek systems including Choctaw Cr and Dukedall Cr, which have historically influenced the placement of homesteads and early travel routes. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest like the Mount Olive Cem and Walnut Ridge Cem. The transition from Bienville Parish to Jackson Parish is clearly delineated along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, showing how these political boundaries intersect with the natural topography of the piney woods region.
