About this map

The Ouachita River snakes through the eastern half of this Ouachita Parish landscape, defining the boundaries of industrial and residential growth south of West Monroe. The area is a complex network of waterways, where the meandering Bayou Mouchoir De L'Ourse and Cheniere Creek meet the river among low-lying islands like Coon Island and Pine Island. These wetlands are bordered by several established communities, including Bawcomville, Brownsville, and Ridgecrest.

Family history and local heritage are anchored by numerous burial grounds scattered across the township lines, notably Old Sardis Cem, Berry Cem, and Smith Cem. To the west, the landscape shifts toward the waters of Pucketts Lake and the residential clusters of Lenwil and Sunnybrook Farms. This survey captures the transition from the denser urban outskirts of Monroe to the bayou-driven rural reaches of the south.
