COMMENTS:

The Rugg Post Office was in southeastern Union Parish near Rugg's Bluffs on Bayou 
D'Arbonne east of the modern dam. The bluffs and the Rugg's Bluff Cemetery are in 
Section 19, Township 20 North, Range 2 East. However, post office maps indicate that 
the Rugg Post Office was about a mile south of this, somewhere along Union Parish Road 
#5587 in Sections 19, 30, 29, or 32, Township 20 North, Range 2 East.
