2020 Map of Walters

About this map

Little River winds through the heart of this Catahoula Parish landscape, defining the local geography as it flows past the small settlements of Archie and Walters. The area is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies, including Mayo Brake, Boatner Brake, and the expansive Honey Brake Bayou. These "brakes" and sloughs illustrate the low-lying, alluvial nature of the region, where water management and natural drainage patterns dictate the placement of roads and homesteads. Local family history is preserved at sites like Old Mount Olive Cem and Young Cem, located near Young RD. The map documents a rural environment where life follows the path of the river and the seasonal ebb of the bayous, connected by routes such as Little River RD and Big Bayou Loop.
