2012 Map of Walters

About this map

Little River defines the central topography of this Catahoula Parish landscape, winding past the small settlements of Archie and Utility. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where water and industry are deeply intertwined, characterized by a complex network of bayous and brakes that drain into the French Fork Little River. The presence of the Utility Oil Field and the Boltners Brake Oil Field suggests a local economy still driven by mineral extraction, even as the rural character is maintained by family-named landmarks like Young Cem and Old Mount Olive Cem. The terrain south of Walters is particularly low-lying, dominated by seasonal water features such as Hibbs Bayou, Elm Slough, and the expansive Open Brake, which shape the patterns of local roads and land use in this part of Louisiana.
