Another "unincorporated community" lie. I cannot tell you what this is from any historical sources at all, except from the same
hypsometry that tells us about a nail near to wherever
Black Hawk, Louisiana (
AfD discussion) was, in this case from an 1885 USACE survey. We know all about a granite post in a hole in the ground, for Ashland: "[Benchmark 54] is top of granite post buried in the ground on the left of the steps leading to the front entrance of Mr. William G. Walton's residence on Ashland Plantation near Bougere P. O., Louisiana. The top of stone is about 3 inches above ground. Elevation, 23m.5622
It's not in Lippincott's at all, which rules out any sort of town or village or even a post office, although the smart money would be on Bougere being the post office in any case. The only Ashland that the SPC's 1890 History of Louisiana has, as an incidental mention in brackets, is in
Red River Parish across the state. This one in Concordia is listed in a contemporary directory of Louisiana plantations, and that's it. This, too, has been lost to history.
