1954 Map of Fullerton Lake

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest and the Fort Polk Military Reservation dominate this mid-century landscape in Vernon Parish, where industrial history is still etched into the terrain. The presence of several stretches of Dismantled railroad indicates a legacy of timber harvesting or military logistics that once traversed these wooded hills. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Fullerton sits adjacent to Fullerton Lake, serving as a focal point for local activity alongside the Fullerton Lookout Tower. Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks such as the Oak Grove Church and the Sermon Cemetery or Smith Cemetery, which are tucked away near the winding paths of Big Brushy Creek and East Fork Sixmile Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the transitional period when former rail lines were giving way to forest management and military utility.
