2015 Map of Wisner

About this map

The town of Wisner serves as the focal point for this survey of the lowlands where Franklin Parish meets Catahoula Parish. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage ways, including Brushey Bayou, Loften Bayou, and Black Bayou, which weave through the agricultural flats. Several small communities and named locations like Metropolis, Elam, Holly Grove, and Peck are situated along the primary thoroughfares, such as La-876 and La-562. Genealogists will find a cluster of burial sites across the region, including Hope Estate Cem, Central Cem, New Zion Cem, and Humble Cem. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the course of Deer Creek and its associated Deer Creek Cutoff, illustrating the complex water management required in this delta-adjacent environment. To the northwest, Turkey Creek Lake provides a significant water feature amidst the grid of rural roads and section lines.
