About this map

Georgetown anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, situated near the boundary between the Winn Ranger District and Catahoula Ranger District. The map reveals a heavily forested region dominated by the Kisatchie National Forest and the Catahoula National Wildlife Management Preserve, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages feeding into the winding Dugdemona River.

Evidence of the local timber and energy economies is visible through the topography of the Pardon Hills and scattered Oil Field locations. Small settlements like Curry and several rural Cem sites provide points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this part of Winn and Grant Parishes. The intricate hydrology, featuring Little Saline Creek, Anderson Creek, and Hemphill Creek, illustrates the complex watershed that characterizes the North Louisiana piney woods.
