2012 Map of Truxno

About this map

Little Bayou de Loutre and its larger counterpart, Bayou de Loutre, define the drainage of this north Louisiana landscape near the Arkansas border. The rural network of roads, including John Bailey Rd, Green Bridge Rd, and Moshack Rd, connects small communities such as Truxno, Laran, and Conway. These settlements are historically anchored by their burial grounds, such as Laran Cem, Birds Chapel Cem, and Conway Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The presence of the Truxno Oil Field near Knight Rd and Slade Camp Rd points to the continued importance of the extraction industry in Union Parish. To the east, the community of Tugwell sits along the Meridian Cr drainage, while the swampy environment of Jackson Slough highlights the varying terrain of the Loutre basin.
