About this map

The boundary between Beauregard Parish and Allen Parish cuts through this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of watercourses and early twentieth-century timber infrastructure. The settlement of Grant serves as a central point near the Fairview Sch, while further north lies the community of Reids. The terrain is drained by several significant waterways, including Sixmile Creek, Whisky Chitto Creek, and Tenmile Creek, which are fed by smaller tributaries like Soapstone Creek and Caney Branch.

A distinct history of resource extraction is evident through the numerous Old Logging Grades and dedicated logging Railroad lines that crisscross the area, often intersecting with State Highway No 113 and State Highway No 140. Local community life is anchored by landmarks such as the Hamilton Cem, Palestine Ch, and Hopewell Ch, offering specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Louisiana.
