About this map

The low-lying wetlands and sluggish waterways of northern Union Parish define this region, where Bayou de Loutre and its tributaries like Little Bayou de Loutre and Mark Beach Bayou wind through the landscape. The settlement of Truxno serves as a local focal point, situated near the intersection of several parish roads and the Bird's Chapel United Methodist Church. Further south, the community of Conway is anchored by the Conway Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted family histories.

Transportation is dominated by a network of rural routes such as Beulah Church Rd and Jackson Slough Rd, which navigate the various sloughs and creek bottoms. Genealogical interest is high in this corner of Louisiana, with several burial grounds including Laran Cem near the northern settlement of Laran and the Cook Cem to the east. The map illustrates a rural economy still shaped by the natural drainage of Lick Creek and Meridian Creek.
