2020 Map of Wilson Creek

About this map

Oak Grove sits at the northern edge of this landscape, a region defined by the convergence of Lincoln, Bienville, and Jackson Parishes. The terrain is deeply carved by the Dugdemona River and its various tributaries, including Wilson Cr, Madden Cr, and Cypress Cr. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous small family and community burial grounds tucked away at the ends of parish roads. Notable among these are the Pennington Family Cem, Sherrard-Spencer Family Cem, and Pruitt Cem. The presence of several spiritual centers, such as Mount Calm Church and Union Church, along with the B & S Hunting Club Rd, illustrates the traditional rural lifestyle and land use patterns that persisted in this corner of North Louisiana into the early 21st century.
