About this map

The Dugdemona River creates a prominent boundary of wetlands and bottomlands through the center of this Winn Parish landscape. Much of the western half of the terrain is managed as part of the Kisatchie National Forest, where a network of forest roads and trails, including Gum Springs Rd and Yankee Springs Rd, wind through the timbered hills.

Settlement is concentrated near the edges of the forest, notably at Bethlehem in the southeast and the site simply labeled Mill in the northern reaches. These place names, along with landmarks like Cypress Cr and Iron Br, reflect a local economy historically tied to the river drainage and the logging industry. The map provides a detailed view of the modern road network, featuring numerous family-named routes such as Sam Taylor Rd and John Dean RD that help researchers locate specific family tracts within the parish.
