About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates the landscape of this southern Rapides Parish quadrangle, where dense woodlands are intersected by a network of forest trails and rural roads. The settlement of Forest Hill sits at the junction of several local routes, including the Willis Gunter Rd and the Richmond Rd, serving as a central point in a region characterized by its creeks and branches. To the south, the community of Longleaf lies near the headwaters of Perkins Creek, while the northern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Indian Creek and its namesake Indian Creek Cem.

The map reveals a landscape managed for timber and conservation, featuring numerous established trails such as the Claiborne North Trl and Claiborne Boy Scout Trl. These routes, alongside forestry roads like Forest Rte 253, suggest a long-standing history of recreational and industrial use within the pine woods. For the family historian, several small burial grounds are documented across the terrain, including the Moore Cem and Butters Cem, which provide localized markers of the families who settled this part of Louisiana.
