2024 Map of Point

About this map

The lowlands of Union Parish are defined here by the expansive waters of Bayou D'Arbonne Lake and the dense wetlands of the D'Arbonne National Wildlife Refuge. This landscape is a complex network of moving water, including the winding Bayou D'Arbonne and numerous tributaries such as Francis Creek, Tiger Creek, and Briny Bridge Creek. The small community of Point serves as the primary settlement hub in the eastern portion of the map, surrounded by family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds that speak to the area's deep genealogical roots. Several significant cemeteries, such as Ruggs Bluff Cem and Shady Grove Cem, are distributed throughout the parish, often situated on the higher ground near historical homesteads. Infrastructure like the Union Parish Airport and a grid of parish roads, including Mosleys Bluff Rd, provide access to this wooded and water-carved terrain.
