2015 Map of Birds Creek

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest defines the landscape of this Vernon Parish interior, where a network of forest roads and creeks crisscrosses a region defined by its timber and military utility. For genealogists, the map identifies small, isolated burial sites including Watson Cem in the north and Holly Springs Cem further south. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Birds Creek and Whisky Chitto Cr carving through the terrain alongside numerous branches like Calhoun Br and Coupen Br. The road system reflects the dual use of the land, featuring named routes like Artillery Rd and Bivouac Rd that suggest proximity to military training grounds, while Gravel Hill Church Rd points toward local community landmarks. The topography reveals the subtle shifts in elevation that separate the basins of W Fork Sixmile Cr and Little Sixmile Cr.
