2020 Map of Vivian North

About this map

Black Bayou Lake dominates the central landscape of this Caddo Parish region, where the industrial legacy of the South is visible through infrastructure like Standard Oil Road 2. The settlement of Vivian anchors the southern portion of the map, while Rodessa and Ida sit to the north. This area is exceptionally dense with family and community burial sites, including the Slaughter Cem, Antioch Cem, and Paradise Church Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana. Waterways such as Myrtis Mill Cr and Hoss Cr drain into the sprawling lake system, illustrating the connection between the early timber and milling economy and the local hydrology. The road network, from Rodessa Ida Rd to Mira Myrtis Rd, reveals the historic links between small communities like Myrtis and Mira.
