1974 Map of Fort Polk

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Fort Polk Military Reservation dominates this 1974 landscape in Vernon Parish, showing a dense network of military infrastructure integrated with the natural geography of the Kisatchie National Forest. The map documents the sprawling facilities of Fort Polk and North Fort Polk, including the Fort Polk Army Airfield and numerous range towers such as Forsythe Tower and Beauregard Tower. Despite the heavy military footprint, the survey preserves several markers of earlier settlement, including Smart Cem and Zion Hill Cem, along with the Pine Island Ch. The southern border follows a clear Base Line, while the western edge is defined by the Kansas City Southern railroad. Local drainage is defined by numerous waterways like Whisky Chitto Creek and Zourie Bayou, which cut through the forested terrain near landmarks like Deane Hill.
