2015 Map of Gordon

About this map

The settlement of Gordon and the surrounding piney lowlands of southwest Louisiana are documented here during the mid-2010s. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the winding Beckwith Creek and Hickory Branch drain toward the Little River south of the parish line. The map illustrates a rural area transitioning between Beauregard Parish and Calcasieu Parish, characterized by timber-management tracts and small family settlements like Gekop. Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial sites at Gillie Cem and Alston Cem, which remain tucked away from the primary rural roads. Notable landmarks like The Glade and Mayhaw Glade signify distinctive natural clearings within the dense drainage network of Tiger Glade Cr and Indian Bayou.
