About this map

Simsboro sits at the intersection of local industry and the natural drainage systems of northern Louisiana, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through a landscape defined by its creek networks. The town serves as a focal point for the surrounding rural territory, characterized by active extraction and utility infrastructure. Several Gas Field developments and a Gravel Pit indicate the region's reliance on natural resources during the mid-1980s.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, with the Dugdemona River and numerous tributaries like Sugar Creek, Walnut Creek, and Little Walnut Creek winding through the parish lands. This survey also records specific community amenities, such as a Campground and a unique Ultralight Runway, alongside numerous Cem sites that provide valuable data for genealogical research. The mapping of Sewage Lagoons and pipelines reflects the evolving civic infrastructure of the era.
