About this map

The boundary between Vernon Parish and Rapides Parish bisects this Louisiana landscape, where the southern reaches of the Kisatchie National Forest meet the military grounds of Fort Polk. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor waterways, including the winding courses of Tenmile Creek, Big Creek, and Cherrywinche Creek. Settlement is sparse, characterized by rural crossroads like Afeman and Cora, and many of the roads appear named for local families, such as James Dousay Rd and Lonzie Doyle Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the mapped locations of family-centered landmarks. Several burial grounds are documented here, including Mount Moriah Cemetery, Upper Mount Moriah Cemetery, and Doyle Cemetery. The map also captures the intricate road system supporting the local timber and military interests, with specialized routes like Buds Cutoff and Cripple Creek Rd navigating the piney woods and creek basins.
