About this map

Kernan and the surrounding reaches of Beauregard Parish are defined by a complex drainage network that dictated the early footprint of this Louisiana landscape. The map details the winding courses of Bull Bayou and Cole Creek, alongside numerous tributaries like Big Gully and Wild Cow Creek. Small settlements such as Poley and Greenhead anchor the rural sections of the parish during the mid-1980s. While much of the area remained heavily wooded or swampy, the presence of an Oil Refinery and a Gravel Pit indicates the specific industrial drivers of the local economy. This survey documents the transition between the wilder waterways and the established rural roads that connected these isolated Louisiana communities during this era.
