About this map

Knight and Fal anchor this 1980s landscape at the boundary of Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Bayou Anacoco flows through the southern section, joined by Brockston Gully and Cypress Creek. To the north, the hydrology is shaped by Red Bank Creek and its tributary Permidia Branch, alongside the winding paths of Damrel Creek and Pocosin Creek.

Resource extraction is evident through the presence of a Gravel Pit near the parish line, indicating the local industrial activity of the era. The naming of Mill Creek and Moore Branch suggests earlier historical land uses or family holdings that persisted into the late 20th century. This survey documents the transition between the upland pine woods and the bottomland creek systems before modern development further altered the rural character of this Louisiana interior.
