2024 Map of Walters

About this map

Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northwestern reaches of this terrain, where the Little River meanders through a complex network of seasonal wetlands and low-lying brakes. Small settlements like Archie, Walters, and Utility are linked by rural corridors such as Little River Rd and State Rte 923, tracing the high ground between the river and the expansive bottomlands. The landscape is defined by its hydrography, featuring numerous brakes and sloughs such as Gillespie Brake, Boatner Brake, and Hogpen Slough. These features suggest a region historically shaped by the shifting hydrology of the river system, supporting a mix of conservation land and isolated homesteads. Genealogical interest is centered on sites like Old Mount Olive Cem and Young Cem, which provide tangible connections to the families who settled this corner of Louisiana.
