2018 Map of Olla West

About this map

Olla and Urania anchor the southeastern corner of this 2018 survey, where the borders of LaSalle, Winn, and Caldwell Parishes converge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Castor Creek, Sandy Cr, and Crooked Cr, which meander through the low-lying terrain typical of North Central Louisiana. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and resting places, from the Adams Cem in the north to Whitehead Cem and Nelson Cem centrally located near Delphit Br. The presence of the L & Pacific Rd and numerous parish roads, such as Parish Rd 1169 and Parish Rd 738, trace the legacy of the local timber and rail infrastructure that once drove the regional economy.
