2015 Map of Chestnut

About this map

Ashland and the surrounding woodlands of the Kisatchie National Forest define this landscape in Natchitoches Parish. The map reveals a dense network of timber and parish roads, such as Morgan Quick Rd and Weaver Cemetery Rd, connecting small settlements like Skidder and Chestnut. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system including Antoine Cr, Demery Cr, and Bayou Terry. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for local landmarks like Hathorn Cem, Stewart Cem, and Weaver Cem. This survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of northern Louisiana, where local family names like Trichel, Scallion, and Wooley are preserved in the road network, reflecting the long-standing community ties to the land and its forestry-based economy.
