2020 Map of Strong

About this map

Strong serves as the primary hub for this timber and farm-laden landscape along the Arkansas-Louisiana border. The settlement pattern is defined by rural road networks like Aurelle Rd and Oakland Rd, which connect small hamlets such as Victoria and Union. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Pilgrims Rest Cem, Pratt-Dobbs Cem, and Good Hope Cem, reflecting a long history of family and community identity in the timberlands. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems, most notably South Lapile Creek in the north and the complex forks of Frank Lapere Cr further south. These waterways dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Jones Lake Cutoff and Gantz Cutoff, which weave between low-lying wetlands and the slightly higher ground where the region's farms and cemeteries are located.
