About this map

The boundary between Grant Parish and Rapides Parish bisects this Louisiana landscape, where the northern reaches are defined by the Kisatchie National Forest. A network of bayous and creeks, including Flagon Bayou, Kitchen Cr, and Dry Prong, shapes the terrain around the settlements of Ball, Tioga, and Paradise. The presence of the Pollock Municipal Airport and the sprawling residential developments of Timber Trails and Creola indicate the suburban growth extending north from Pineville.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, such as Venus Cem and Labat Cem, alongside established landmarks like Kisatchie Lake and the former sites of Stay and Prospect. The transport network is anchored by Old US 71 and numerous rural routes like Grays Creek Rd, reflecting the area's transition from timberlands to a settled residential corridor during the early 21st century.
