About this map

The town of Atlanta anchors this mid-1980s topographic study of the central Louisiana timberlands, where the landscape is defined by the dense reaches of the Kisatchie National Forest. The settlement pattern follows the drainages of numerous winding waterways, such as Hurricane Creek and the curiously named Port de Luce. To the east, the Catahoula National Wildlife Management Area borders the terrain, reflecting the region's dedication to conservation and managed wilderness.

Evidence of historical water-powered industry remains at Old Mill Pond, while local travel is marked by rural junctions and stream crossings like Five Forks, Worsham Crossing, and Beal Crossing. Small clusters like Sardis appear amidst a network of timber roads and bayous including Negro Branch and Boggy Creek, providing researchers with a clear view of Winn Parish's interior before modern expansion or industrial shifts altered these remote communities.
