About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this section of the Louisiana uplands, where the boundary between Sabine Parish and Natchitoches Parish runs through a landscape of creek bottoms and sandy ridges. The area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Kisatchie Cem and New Kisatchie Cem, which serve the small community of Kisatchie. Large portions of the terrain are occupied by the military installations of Fort Polk, which overlap with the forest lands and parish lines.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, with the Kisatchie Bayou winding through the center of the sheet, eventually leading to Kisatchie Fall. To the south, Odum Falls marks a notable drop along Odum Cr. Local transport relies on a network of named routes like Longleaf Vista Rd and the Sandstone Trail, providing access to isolated settlements like Lotus and family-named landmarks such as Hannah Spring.
