About this map

The winding course of the Little River dictates the landscape of this Louisiana interior, forming the boundary between La Salle Parish and Grant Parish. The terrain is defined by complex oxbows and swampy breaks, with prominent features like Alligator Bend, Fool River Bend, and Alligator Brake marking the river's historical shifts. Much of the southwestern portion of the sheet is protected within the Kisatchie National Forest, where the small settlement of Fishville sits near the headwaters of Big Creek.

Evidence of local industry and resource extraction is visible through numerous Oil Wells and a significant Sand and Gravel Pit near the parish line. For those researching the area's recreational and community hubs, the map identifies several access points including Thompson Ferry and Walkers Ferry, along with landmarks like White Sulphur Springs and the elevated terrain of Backbone Ridge rising above Hardwater Lake.
