1986 Map of Wilson Creek

About this map

The Dugdemona River meanders through this portion of North Louisiana, defining a landscape shaped by bottomland drainage and timbered ridges. As of the mid-1980s, the small settlement of Wilson stands as a primary point of reference in an area otherwise dominated by the intersections of Wilson Creek and Dry Cypress Creek. The map reveals a transition between the elevated parish lands and the low-lying basins of the Madden Creek watershed, illustrating the rural character and water-dependent geography of the region during this era. This provisional survey captures the distribution of rural dwellings and the hydraulic network before further modern development altered the local watercourses.
