2012 Map of Wisner

About this map

The town of Wisner serves as the primary hub in this corner of Franklin Parish, where the local economy transitions between established agriculture and energy extraction. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage ways, including Brushey Bayou, Black Bayou, and Loften Bayou, which navigate the low-lying terrain. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial grounds such as Hope Estate Cem, Humble Cem, and New Zion Cem, often associated with smaller rural clusters like Metropolis and Holly Grove. Industrial activity is evident through the Wisner Oil Field and the North Sicily Island Gas Field in the south, while the Yarbrough Brothers Airstrip points to the importance of aerial access in this rural region. The grid of parish roads, many named for local families like Barton Rd and R Campbell Rd, provides a clear view of land division and residency patterns in the early 21st century.
