About this map

Fullerton Lake and the surrounding pine-clad terrain of Vernon Parish define this 2020 landscape, where military and conservation interests intersect. Much of the northern and central sections are occupied by the Fort Polk military installation and the Kisatchie National Forest, creating a region largely devoid of modern residential development. This geography preserves an intricate network of waterways including Whiskey Chitto, Tenmile Creek, and Big Brushy Creek.

Evidence of earlier civilian habitation remains through family landmarks such as Smith Cem and Semon Cem. The transportation network is a hybrid of forestry routes like Forestry Service Rd 4922 and local thoroughfares such as Joe Smith Rd and T Cardy Loop. For genealogists, these small cemeteries and named creek branches like Gum Branch and Thompson Branch provide essential markers of the families who settled this timber-rich portion of Louisiana.
