About this map

Rodessa and the northern reaches of Vivian anchor this corner of Caddo Parish, where the geography is defined by the winding waters of Black Bayou Lake and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is a complex network of bayous and creeks, including Hoss Cr, Horse Cr, and Hartman Br, which drain the low-lying terrain. Industrial legacy and local transport are evident in the corridor following Standard Oil Road 2 and the grid of small-town streets in Rodessa, such as Spruce ST and Cypress ST.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, from the Slaughter Cem and Rodessa Cem in the north to the Old Vivian Cem and Chapelwood Cem further south. The map also records localized industry and land use near Myrtis Mill Pond and Myrtis Mill Cr, providing a look at the rural economy of northwest Louisiana. Small clusters like Mira and Hosston are connected by a web of parish roads including Atlanta Mira RD and Rodessa Ida RD, tracing the settlement patterns of this border region.
