About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates the terrain of central Louisiana in this late 1940s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by timberlands and a network of creeks and branches. The social centers of this rural community are preserved through landmarks like Couley Ch and Couley Sch in the northwest, while the Emden Sch serves the southern reaches. A notable geographic feature is the Coochie Brake, a sprawling wetland system that marks the central portion of the quadrangle.

Transport and industry are anchored by the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway corridor running through the eastern edge, paralleling the course of Bulger Cr. This survey was compiled from 1937 field examinations and aerial photography, capturing the area before significant post-war modernization. Notable family history landmarks include the Kimbrell Cem near the southern boundary and a prominent Lookout station positioned to monitor the surrounding forest.
