1986 Map of Hurricane Branch

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest covers much of this mid-1980s landscape in western Louisiana, revealing a terrain defined by complex drainage systems and the local timber and gravel industries. The map traces the upper reaches of Bundick Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Branch and Pin Branch. The presence of numerous Gravel Pit sites and a Trailer Park near Hogpen Branch points to the area's rural industrial character during this era. Researchers will find interest in the scattered Cem markers, which are often the last visible indicators of family homesteads or small communities in the piney woods. The southern portion of the map documents the boundary between Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish, following the meandering path of Black Creek.
