About this map

Spearsville serves as the central hub of this north Louisiana landscape, situated among a network of rural routes and creek crossings. The settlement pattern is defined by family-named landmarks and country churches, with small hamlets like Taylortown and Mount Union anchoring the surrounding timber and farmland. Numerous cemeteries, including Antioch Cem, Canaan Cem, and Liberty Cem, are scattered across the terrain, providing essential points of interest for genealogists tracing Union Parish roots.

The topography is gently shaped by the drainage of Bayou de Loutre and its various tributaries such as Tenmile Cr and Resinger Hollis Cr. Notable elevations like Henderson Hill rise above the bottomlands, while Terral Lake offers a distinct water feature in the southeastern corner. The map documents an intricate system of local connectors like Carroll Loop and Snowball Rd, reflecting the long-established transit patterns of this rural community.
