About this map

Kisatchie and the settlement of Kile anchor this portion of central Louisiana, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Kisatchie Bayou and its numerous tributaries. The area is dense with sites for genealogical research, including the Old Kisatchie Cemetery, New Kisatchie Cemetery, and several family-named burial grounds like Billy Dowden Cemetery and Booty Cemetery.

Forestry and recreation are evident through the presence of the Kisatchie Lookout Tower and multiple campgrounds such as Dogwood Campground and Red Bluff Campground. The map details a complex network of forest routes, including the Long Leaf Trail, which traverses terrain marked by unique water features like Odom Falls and Kisatchie Falls. This survey documents the intersection of rural community life and the managed forest lands of the early 21st century.
