About this map

Gordon occupies a central position within this Louisiana landscape, situated north of the parish boundary between Beauregard Parish and Calcasieu Parish. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system where Beckwith Creek and Tiger Glade Cr wind through the timbered lowlands. This environment is characterized by distinct natural openings such as The Glade and Mayhaw Glade, reflecting the specific hydrology of the western Louisiana piney woods.

For those researching local family history, the map identifies specific burial sites including Alston Cem near the southern parish line and Gillie Cem to the northeast. A network of rural roads, such as Pilgrim Rest Rd and Alston Cemetery Rd, provides a footprint of the modern community structure, while the courses of the Little River and Hickory Branch delineate the natural boundaries that have long influenced the region's development.
