2018 Map of Fort Necessity

About this map

Fort Necessity and Buie anchor this rural landscape in Franklin Parish, where the geography is defined by a dense network of slow-moving bayous and drainage sloughs. The area is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Fort Necessity Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Boeuf Prairie Cem, reflecting a long-established settlement pattern along the watercourses. The terrain is a complex of wetlands and small streams such as Goose Cr, Grayson Bayou, and Big Grassy Bayou, which snake through the agricultural fields and forested patches. In the southern portion, Turkey Cr Lake and the Circle G Airport stand out as notable landmarks within the largely rural layout. The map's detail provides a look at the local road network, showing family-named routes like Asa Knox Rd and J J Hatton Rd that connect these dispersed communities.
