About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates the western landscape of this central Louisiana parish, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Calcasieu River. The map shows a rural environment where local history is preserved in family-named routes and sacred sites. Small communities like Afeman and Cora serve as anchors in a region crisscrossed by numerous tributaries including Tenmile Cr, Big Cr, and Swetz Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Mount Moriah Cem and the Upper Mount Moriah Cem near the intersection of Mt Moriah Church Rd. Further south, the Doyle Cem sits along Pilgrim Rd, illustrating the dispersed nature of settlement here. Many secondary roads, such as Red John Hilton Rd and Lonzie Doyle Rd, reflect the names of early residents, providing clues to family landholdings across the Vernon and Rapides parish lines.
