About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates much of this Grant Parish landscape, where the transition from timberlands to established rural communities is documented through a network of small churches and schoolhouses. The settlement of Dry Prong serves as a focal point along the State and Arkansas Highway No 99, while smaller outposts like Faircloth occupy the northern reaches near Black Creek.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify specific community centers such as Fairfield Ch and Fairfield Sch, along with outlying landmarks like Hebron Ch and OK Sch. The drainage patterns of the region are exceptionally detailed, showing the intricate forks of Grays Fork and the winding Cypress Creek, illustrating how the early road system, including State Highway No 475, followed the natural topography of the piney woods.
