2020 Map of Sparta

About this map

The crossroads of Sparta and Lucky anchor this topographic survey of central Bienville Parish, characterized by a dense network of parish roads and family burial grounds. For genealogists, the map is an exceptional resource, recording numerous interment sites including the Old Sparta Cem, Blume Family Cem, and Camp Ground Cem. The rural landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Kepler Cr, Castor Cr, and Sixmile Cr, which wind through the wooded terrain. Cultural history is evident in names like New Prosperity Baptist Church Cem and the presence of historic milling sites suggested by Blooms Mill Cr and Edwards Mill Cr. The northwestern corner features the reach of Kepler Creek Lake, while a web of local routes like Kepler Rd and Haysfield Rd connects the scattered homesteads and timberlands of the early 21st century.
