About this map

The Dugdemona River creates a sprawling wetland corridor through the heart of Winn Parish, shaping the development of timber and transit routes in north-central Louisiana. The eastern outskirts of Winnfield and the settlement of Joyce anchor the western edge of this territory, where the terrain transitions from the river bottomlands to the wooded uplands of Menefee and Ringwood. A complex network of parish roads, such as Old Union Ch Rd and Tannehill Rd, connects these rural communities, following the higher ground between numerous tributaries like Keesche Cr and Brushy Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find several significant burial sites, including Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cem and the Old Pleasant Hill Cem near the southeastern boundary. The presence of Salt Spring and Creosote Br hints at the area's natural resources and early industrial influences. The transition from the established community of Colgrade into the river marshes illustrates the persistent geographic constraints that have defined this region's settlement patterns since the nineteenth century.
