2018 Map of Sikes

About this map

The settlement of Sikes sits at the junction of local parish roads and a network of small waterways in Winn Parish. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape deeply defined by its drainage systems, including Turkey Cr, Caffey Br, and Oxpen Cr. For those tracing local families and old homesteads, the map identifies several rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Wright Cem, Smith Cem, and Willis Cem. Further south, the community of Hickory Valley appears near the banks of Tanyard Cr. The intricate network of timber roads and parish routes, like Shell Rd and Fatheree Rd, suggests the ongoing importance of the local forest industry and rural connectivity in north-central Louisiana.
