About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this section of Vernon Parish, where a dense network of tributaries drains into the Bundick Cr and Black Cr systems. The landscape is heavily influenced by the military operations of Fort Polk, which occupies much of the central and northern terrain. This coexistence of federal forest land and military training grounds is reflected in the road network, which transitions from named parish routes like Lockhart Cutoff Rd to specific boundary markers such as W Boundary Rd and S Boundry Rd. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Johnson Cem situated near Providence Rd, while numerous family names are preserved on the local landscape through thoroughfares like J P Calcote Rd, Bill Churchman Loop, and B Ashworth Rd, providing a clear record of local land occupancy and movement in the 21st century.
