2020 Map of Sikes

About this map

Sikes serves as the primary hub of this north-central Louisiana landscape, where the local road network converges near Caney Br and Flat Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system of creeks and branches, including the prominent Turkey Cr and Fish Cr, which carve through the wooded parishes of the region. This 2020 survey documents the enduring presence of family history through several mapped burial sites, such as Wright Cem, Starns Cem, Smith Cem, and Willis Cem, often located near established parish roads. The rural community of Hickory Valley sits to the southeast, positioned between Tanyard Cr and Wheless Br. These features reflect a traditional settlement pattern where homes and cemeteries are anchored to the higher ground between the many winding waterways.
