2015 Map of Truxno

About this map

Truxno and Conway serve as central points in this portion of Union Parish, where a network of rural roads connects scattered settlements across a landscape defined by the winding course of Bayou de Loutre. The terrain is deeply inscribed by water, featuring Jackson Slough and several smaller tributaries like Horse Trough Cr and Mark Beach Bayou. This environment fostered a dispersed community structure, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and churches that anchor local history. Genealogists will find notable sites such as Birds Chapel Cem, Laran Cem, and Cook Cem positioned along the ridges. The presence of routes like La-550 and La-348 underscores the transition toward modern infrastructure while maintaining the traditional parish road network, including family-named thoroughfares like John Bailey Rd and George Burnside Rd.
