About this map

Corney Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Little Corney Bayou and Three Creeks, define the drainage patterns of this northern Louisiana landscape. During the mid-century period, the area around Summerfield and Lisbon maintained a dense network of rural community landmarks, particularly country schools and churches that served as local anchors. Notable sites such as Center Springs Ch, Mt Calm Sch, and Fellowship Sch reflect the established social geography of Claiborne Parish.

The industrial character of the region is evident through the widespread Gas Wells and the presence of a Gas Refinery near the Lincoln Parish line. The transition from agricultural settlement to a resource-based economy is further marked by the 1969 photorevisions, which capture the development of Corney Lake and changes near the settlement of Arizona. The map also preserves the locations of numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Aycock Cem and Liberty Hill Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research.
