About this map

The Ouachita River defines the eastern edge of this region, winding past the urban centers of West Monroe and Monroe. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, where the Bayou D'Arbonne and Cross Bayou flow through lowlands north of the city. These hydrologic patterns have historically shaped the expansion of residential areas like Claiborne and Forest Park, which sit between the river and the marshy expanses of The Chute.

Local landmarks such as Kiroli Woods and the Hasley Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing the community's development in Ouachita Parish. Smaller settlements like Drew and Cheniere appear along the western margins, connected by a dense grid of named local roads including Arkansas Rd and Peach Ridge Dr. The map clearly illustrates the transition from the structured street blocks of the riverfront to the more dispersed patterns of the outlying northern bayous.
