1974 Map of Fort Polk

About this map

Fort Polk Military Reservation dominates this 1970s landscape, illustrating the footprint of a major Army installation within the timberlands of the Kisatchie National Forest. The map documents the extensive built environment of Fort Polk and North Fort Polk, including hospital complexes, residential trailer parks, and an intricate network of range towers such as Forsythe Tower and McClellen Tower. Beyond the military infrastructure, the terrain is defined by the winding waters of Whisky Chitto Creek and Bundick Creek. Traces of earlier Vernon Parish history remain visible through several numbered and named burial grounds, including Smart Cem and Zion Hill Cem, while the Kansas City Southern Railroad cuts across the western edge. This survey captures a moment when the transition between active military training zones and the surrounding rural parishes was clearly delineated by features like the Pine Island Ch.
