About this map

Bayou de Loutre winds through this 2015 landscape, defining a network of wetlands and lakes where Union Parish meets Ouachita Parish. The settlement of Rocky Branch serves as a central point for the region's rural road network, which includes family-named routes like John Haye RD and Duke Nolan RD. To the north, the community of Crossroads is anchored by Crossroads Cem, while the eastern boundary follows the wide course of the Ouachita River.

The river bottomlands are characterized by a complex aquatic system featuring Loch Lomond, Blasingame Brake, and The Basin. These low-lying areas, including Long Slough and Eagle Lake, reflect the traditional hydrological character of Louisiana's interior bayou country. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial sites like Parks Cem and Port Union Cem, which remain as markers of the area's long-standing rural neighborhoods.
