2024 Map of Sparta

About this map

Sparta and Lucky anchor this Bienville Parish landscape, characterized by the winding headwaters of several critical southern Louisiana drainage systems. The terrain is defined by a dense network of parish roads that navigate the ridges between Castor Creek, Sixmile Creek, and Blooms Mill Creek. These waterways, along with Edwards Mill Creek and Watts Branch, indicate a legacy of timber and milling activity essential to the local economy. The concentration of family and community burial sites, including the Blume Family Cem and the Boddie Cem, provides a detailed record of established families and rural congregations. The western portion of the map features Kepler Creek Lake, a significant local reservoir created by the damming of Kepler Creek, which reshaped the geography from its earlier stream-fed valley into the prominent water body seen today.
