About this map

Camp Beauregard dominates this 1972 topography, serving as a primary installation for the Louisiana National Guard near the junction of Grant and Rapides Parishes. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of gravel operations and military aviation infrastructure, most notably at Esler Field, which features a prominent runway and Beacon. Settlement is sparse, concentrated at the namesake Green Gables and along the southern drainage of Bayou Flagon.

Natural features define the northern boundary, where the Little River and Walker Lake mark the edge of the parish line. The western portion of the map is largely occupied by the Kisatchie National Forest, intersected by numerous waterways such as Clear Creek and Beaver Creek. Local heritage sites like Pheasant Grove Ch, Clear Creek Ch, and Lofton Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research within this heavily wooded and military-influenced region.
