About this map

The eastern edges of Ruston and the neighboring village of Choudrant anchor this topographic view of north-central Louisiana. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of Choudrant Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sixteen Branch and Bedell Branch, which cut through the varied elevations of Lincoln Parish. The settlement pattern is largely rural, characterized by scattered homes along a network of parish roads and the concentrated developments near the Ruston Regional Airport.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites and houses of worship that dot the countryside, including the Mount Harmony Cem, Woods Chapel Cem, and Saint Peters Cem. To the north, Lincoln Parish Park and the community of Douglas provide further geographic context. This survey serves as a modern record of the area's established road system and the enduring local landmarks that have served these communities for generations.
