2024 Map of Birds Creek

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this landscape in Vernon Parish, where dense woodland is intersected by a complex network of waterways and tactical military infrastructure. The map reveals the southern reaches of Fort Polk, showing how the installation integrates with the surrounding natural terrain. A series of forest roads, including Whisky Chitto Rd and Lookout Rd, provide access to remote areas defined by landforms like Hog Ridge. Genealogists will find significant local value in the preservation of small, family-linked burial grounds such as the Haymon - Watson Cem, Mill Creek Cem, and Holly Springs Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the winding paths of Whisky Chitto Creek and Birds Creek, alongside numerous branches and forks that feed the region's river systems.
