About this map

Nebo and Rogers serve as the primary residential anchors in this 1980s portrait of LaSalle Parish. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, with numerous named waterways like Hemphill Creek and Black Creek feeding south toward the massive expanse of Catahoula Lake. A notable industrial presence is indicated by the Gravel Pit and a Sludge Pit, hinting at the local extractive economy of the era.

The southern edge of the map follows the winding shoreline of the lake, featuring landmarks such as Indian Bluff and Big Point. Local history is captured through family-named or descriptive features like Schoolhouse Branch, Constantine Branch, and a Cem located near the Rogers settlement. The parish boundary between La Salle Parish and Grant Parish is also clearly delineated, providing a precise geographic context for genealogists tracing property lines or ancestral homes near the lake's northern reaches.
