About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this section of Vernon Parish, where military training grounds and natural watercourses converge. The northern portion of the map is defined by the installation at Fort Polk, featuring infrastructure like Infantry Lake and Engineer Lake alongside tactical routes such as Artillery Rd and Dugout Rd. These labels highlight the area's ongoing role in military preparedness during the early 21st century.

Away from the military corridors, the landscape is etched by a dense network of tributaries including Whisky Chitto Cr, Birds Cr, and Little Sixmile Cr. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds found throughout the woodland, such as Watson Cem, Mill Creek Cem, and Holly Springs Cem. The prevalence of named branches and creeks like Dooley Br and Spring Br illustrates the complex drainage system of the Louisiana piney woods.
