1986 Map of Sailes

About this map

Mt. Lebanon and Bryceland anchor the northeastern corner of this North Louisiana landscape as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The region is characterized by a network of rural settlements connected by winding roads through wooded terrain, with Pleasant Hill and Sailes serving as smaller community hubs. Industrial activity is evident through the presence of several Gravel Pits, while the hydrology of the area is defined by the headwaters of Brushy Creek, Pea Vine Creek, and Kepler Creek. Researchers will find numerous Cem markers scattered across the township lines, providing valuable data points for genealogical study. The map captures the quiet, upland character of Bienville Parish, where the traditional settlement patterns of the late 20th century remained intact before further modern development.
