2024 Map of Olla East

About this map

Caldwell Parish and Lasalle Parish meet in this forested central Louisiana corridor, where the small settlements of Olla, Standard, and Spaulding line the primary transit route. The landscape is defined by its numerous small drainages, including Castor Creek and Chickasaw Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Joseph Cem and Good Hope Cem, suggests a long-established rural population and provides significant data for genealogical research. The northern section near Kelly is marked by older paths like Three Cemeteries Road 650 and School House RD 641, pointing to the historic layout of community centers before modern road alignments. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where timber and small-scale agriculture are shaped by the winding paths of Black Bayou and Bear Branch.
