2012 Map of Savage Creek

About this map

Iatt serves as the focal point for this Grant Parish landscape, where the rural settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of named watercourses and mid-century industrial activity. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Iatt, fed by a complex system of drainage including Savage Cr, Hurley Br, and Parasol Bayou. This 2012 survey illustrates the continued importance of regional extraction, marking the White Oak Creek Oil Field and the Blue Lick Creek Oil Field north of the lake. Local landmarks such as the Verda Lookout Tower and Potato Hill provide vertical relief in an area otherwise characterized by ridges and bottomlands. Genealogists and local historians will find several key cultural sites, including Iatt Church and established burial grounds like French Cemetery and Shady Grove Cemetery.
