2024 Map of Coochie Brake

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this section of Winn Parish, where the wetlands of Coochie Brake form a distinctive ecological and hydrologic center. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Nantachie Creek, Kensie Creek, and Mars Hill Creek, which flow through the forested uplands. While the landscape is primarily managed forest, early settlement patterns remain visible through established family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure. Kimbrell Cem and the surrounding network of parish roads, such as Harrisonburg Rd and Wheeling Rd, connect the scattered homesteads. To the north, Couley Creek and Tatt Creek carve through the woods, while the southeastern corner features Dantigo Creek and the beginnings of the Harrisonburg community. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between the natural wetland systems of the brake and the forestry roads that provide access to the timberlands.
