About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this section of Central Louisiana, where the border of Grant and Rapides parishes follows the winding course of the Little River. The landscape is heavily shaped by military and industrial operations, notably the sprawling Camp Beauregard and the Louisiana National Guard reservation. These installations are punctuated by strategic landmarks like Esler Field and various Communication Towers.

Tracing the smaller settlements reveals the rural character of the area, including Hickman and the namesake Green Gables. Local spiritual and community centers are marked by Pleasant Grove Ch and Clear Creek Ch. The region's economy is further evidenced by a high density of Gravel Pits and a Quarry concentrated north of the military boundary. Significant water bodies like Walker Lake and Clear Creek provide the primary drainage through this wooded terrain, which is interlaced with service roads such as Mayraw Road and Arrowhead Road.
