2015 Map of Jericho

About this map

Jericho and Clifton sit within a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Kisatchie National Forest along the border of Rapides Parish and Vernon Parish. The terrain is characterized by the Dough Hills and a dense web of waterways, including Canal Bayou, Sieper Cr, and Comrade Cr. For those tracing local heritage, several small family or community burial grounds are documented, such as Hill Cem in the north and Noel Cem near Clifton. The eastern edge of the survey area touches upon Cotile Lake and the southern tip of Lake Rodemacher, reflecting the importance of water management and recreation in this part of Louisiana. Transportation in the mid-2010s relied on a network of rural roads like Hwy 1200 and Clifton Rd, which connect these small settlements through the piney woods and creek bottoms.
