2012 Map of Verda

About this map

Nantachie Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Grant Parish region, where numerous bayous and creeks feed into the sprawling basin. The settlement pattern is defined by small, dispersed communities linked by a dense network of parish roads, including Wheeling, Hargis, and Wetzlar. In the eastern section, the proximity of Verda and New Verda suggests a shift in the local center over time, possibly influenced by road development or local industry. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family sites near Mars Hill Cem, Six Bits Cem, and Dartigo Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Nantachie Cr, Dartigo Cr, and Fouchmiah Cr, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Harrisonburg RD.
