About this map

Rocky Branch and the village of Spencer anchor this landscape along the border of Union Parish and Ouachita Parish. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, where the Quachita River meets the expansive De Loutre Basin and Loch Lomond. This area shows a transition from the elevated Hollands Bluff down into the wetlands and sloughs of the river basin, including The Basin and Long Slough.

Genealogists can identify several key local landmarks such as Crossroads Cem, Parks Cem, and Port Union Cem, which serve as anchors for family history in these rural communities. The map details the local infrastructure of the modern era, from the winding Bayou de Loutre to the developed residential area of Wall Lake, providing a clear view of how water and land use shaped these northern Louisiana parishes.
