About this map

The Ouachita River serves as the eastern boundary for this region, winding past Trenton Landing and Upper Paragoud Landing as it separates the growing suburban reaches of West Monroe from the city of Monroe. The landscape north of the city center is defined by a dense network of residential developments that emerged during the late twentieth century, including Sherwood Forest, D'Arbonne Hills, and Northwood Estates. These neighborhoods are interspersed with natural features like the wide arc of Bayou D'Arbonne and the recreational grounds of the Highland Park Golf Course.

West of the river, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of bayous and creeks. Significant water bodies such as Wall Lake, Black Bayou, and the branching N Tupawek Bayou weave through the residential fabric. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Hasley Cem and established communities like Claiborne and Cheniere offer clear points of reference for tracing family roots and mid-century suburban expansion in Ouachita Parish.
