2003 Map of Haynesville East

About this map

Haynesville and the smaller settlement of Gordon anchor this landscape in northern Louisiana-Claiborne Parish, as mapped during a 2003 revision by the USDA Forest Service. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Bayou D'Arbonne, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Reeder Creek, Lick Creek, and Tiger Creek. This area of the Kisatchie National Forest showcases a sophisticated network of oil fields and pipelines, reflecting the industrial character of the region's piney woods at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The mapping detail highlights the intersection of resource extraction and the natural hydrological system of the bayou, providing a clear record of land use and timber management in this corner of the state.
