About this map

Wallace Lake dominates the central landscape of this Northwest Louisiana survey, where the border between Caddo Parish and De Soto Parish follows the meandering course of old bayous. The settlement of Frierson anchors the southern reaches of the map, connected by a network of rural roads to numerous community landmarks. The area is particularly rich in small country churches and cemeteries that speak to the region's genealogical heritage, including Springfield Cem and Antioch Cem.

To the northeast, the Red River cuts across the corner of the sheet near Robson, while Chico Island is defined by the winding paths of Chico Bayou and Pierre Bayou. The presence of several Oil Wells and a Tank Farm indicate the mid-century energy production that coexisted with established agricultural life. Education and faith are central to the mapping of this rural district, featuring the Holy Angels Sch and the Leonard Chapel among many others.
