About this map

Kisatchie National Forest defines the character of this Winn Parish landscape, where the low-lying wetlands of Coochie Brake are fed by the waters of Nantachie Creek and Robins Creek. The terrain transitions from these water-logged basins to high ground marked by Black Mountain and various ridges bisected by a network of unimproved roads and an old Railroad Grade.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks of note, including the Kimbrell Cem and several community centers of faith such as Bethlehem Ch, Couley Ch, and Double Ch. Later additions to the area, noted in 1990 revisions, include the Winn Correctional Center in the northeastern quadrant. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns through Cypress Branch and Joe Mitchell Branch, illustrating the complex hydrology typical of this portion of Louisiana.
