About this map

The Kisatchie National Forest dominates the piney woods of central Louisiana on the border of Grant and Rapides parishes. Military operations and civil aviation anchor the landscape, centered on Camp Beauregard and the extensive runways of Esler Field near the settlement of Green Gables. The map reveals a working landscape defined by extraction and community, with numerous Gravel Pits scattered among family landmarks and houses of worship.

Genealogists and local historians can trace local congregational roots at Pleasant Grove Ch and Clear Creek Ch, or find family names at Lofton Cem. In the north, the winding Little River and Walker Lake provide a natural boundary, while a complex network of forest roads including Clinton Road and Arrowhead Road provides access through the dense woodland to various radio facilities and substations.
