2018 Map of Point

About this map

Bayou D'Arbonne Lake and its intricate network of wetlands dominate the landscape of central Union Parish, where the winding Bayou D'Arbonne feeds into a complex system of sloughs and creeks. The settlement of Point serves as a local hub south of the water, connected by a network of rural routes like Moseleys Bluff Rd and Spillway Rd. The presence of the Union Parish Airport north of the lake reflects the modern infrastructure integrated into this traditionally riverine environment. For those researching local history, the map identifies numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Ruggs Bluff Cem, King Cem, and Acree Cem, which are scattered among the timbered slopes and creek bottoms of the t20n r1e and t20n r2e townships. This 2018 survey provides an exceptionally detailed view of the water boundaries, including Francis Cr Lake and Lake Drain Slough, illustrating how the hydrology shapes the local road and settlement patterns.
