2017 Map of Strong

About this map

Strong sits as a central hub in the northern reach of this quadrangle, where a street grid including 1st Ave and Railroad St signals its development along the rail corridor. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainages of S Lapile Cr and the branching forks of Frank Lapere Cr, which flow through the timbered terrain toward the Arkansas Louisiana state line. This borderland region is characterized by a high density of small rural burial grounds, including Pilgrims Rest Cem, Sweet Home Cem, and Good Hope Cem, reflecting a long-settled community of family farms and small crossroad hamlets like Victoria and Lapile. Numerous parish and union roads, such as Oklona Rd and New London Rd, create a dense network connecting these outlying settlements through the hills and creek bottoms.
