About this map

The town of Olla and the smaller settlements of Standard, Spaulding, and Kelly anchor this LaSalle Parish landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The local economy is defined by a heavy industrial footprint in energy extraction, with extensive drilling areas including the Spaulding Gas Field, Standard Gas Field, and the North Rabbit Branch Gas Field dotting the terrain. Transportation in the region is characterized by a grid of rural roads such as 3 Cemeteries Road 650 and Micro Tower Rd, while aviation is served by the Olla Airport located south of the main township.

Waterways like Castor Cr, Black Bayou, and Chickasaw Cr drain the area, creating a complex network of creeks and branches. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous burial grounds, such as Saint Joseph Cem, Harris Chapel Cem, and Tidwell Cem. This map captures a moment of transition where traditional timberlands and rural homesteads coexist with modern natural gas infrastructure.
