About this map

Knight and Fal anchor this rural landscape in the mid-1930s, reflecting a community structured around the logging industry and small-scale agriculture. The infrastructure is dominated by the Logging Railroad Grade and an Old Logging Railroad Grade, indicating a region that had already transitioned through its peak timber extraction phase. Local life centers on spiritual landmarks like Mt Carmel Ch and Bethel Grove Ch, which served dispersed homesteads along the network of creeks and branches. A complex drainage system defines the terrain, with Anacoco Bayou winding across the southern boundary near the Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish line. Numerous watercourses, such as Red Bank Creek, Damrel Creek, and Mill Creek, suggest the importance of these natural features for early settlement patterns and possible milling sites before the modernization of State Highway No 512.
