About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Bundick Cr, Tighteye Cr, and Hurricane Branch. The map illustrates a rural area transitioning across the Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish line, characterized by a complex grid of local timber and family-named roads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the naming of these thoroughfares, such as Claude Gill Rd, R C Calcote Rd, and Mame Johnson Rd, which reflect long-standing landownership patterns in this part of Louisiana. The central portion of the survey includes the Johnson Cem, providing a specific point of interest for family history research. The southern portion of the map is marked by the winding courses of W Br Black Cr and E Br Black Cr, showing the typical drainage patterns of the piney woods region.
