About this map

Fields serves as the central settlement in this portion of Beauregard Parish, situated at the junction of several rural routes including Turkey Rd and Jacobs Rd. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system typical of the southwest Louisiana pine woods, where numerous gullies and creeks like Bear Head Cr and White Oak Gully carve through the terrain. The presence of Spikes Lake and the Blixthn Marsh suggests a low-lying, water-rich environment that influenced the placement of early homesteads and timber operations.

Local history is preserved in the names of the winding road network, with routes such as Raymond Spikes Rd, Gus Smith Rd, and Harold Williams Rd pointing toward the area's family-held lands. Genealogists may find value in the location of Hyatt Cemetery Rd and School Rd, which anchor the social geography of this rural community. The map also delineates the transition between township boundaries t5s r12w and t6s r12w, providing a precise grid for property research.
