2024 Map of Elmer

About this map

Elmer and Otis serve as the primary focal points in this central Louisiana landscape, where the dense timberlands of the Kisatchie National Forest meet a network of small family cemeteries and creek drainages. Genealogists can identify several local burial sites, including Saint Peter Cem, Rougeau Cem, and Dyer Cem, which are scattered among the ridges between Valentine Creek and Spring Creek. The transport pattern is defined by a web of forest routes and local roads such as Walker Cutoff Rd and State Rte 1199, reflecting the area's ongoing management for timber and rural residence. The terrain is deeply dissected by a high density of watercourses, from the Little Brushy Creek in the east to Parks Creek in the northwest, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Rapides Parish piney woods.
