About this map

The Ouachita River corridor defines the eastern edge of this modern survey, where the historic Pargoud Indian Mound sits near the river's edge. To the west, the Twin Cities area is represented by the developed neighborhoods of West Monroe and the northwestern portion of Monroe, showing a landscape dense with residential growth in communities like Claiborne, D'Arbonne Hills, and Lakeland Gardens.

Water plays a critical role in the geography here, with Bayou D'Arbonne cutting across the north and various coulees and lakes, such as McGuire Lake Number One, dotting the floodplain. Local history is anchored by sites like Hasley Cem and the expansive Kiroli Woods. The map also captures the transition from these urban centers to the more open lands toward Cheniere and the Union Parish Ouachita Parish line, where winding waterways like Rufus Creek and Bayou Choudrant meander through the terrain.
