About this map

The Kisatchie National Forest dominates this Central Louisiana landscape, where the borders of Sabine, Natchitoches, and Vernon Parishes meet. The timber-rich terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including Comrade Cr, Blackjack Br, and Bull Bay Br, which flow toward the southern reaches of the Calcasieu River. Small settlements such as Kurthwood, Fisherville, and Alco are situated along the roadway network, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to the regional lumber industry.

Local landmarks such as West Cem provide points of interest for genealogists, while the intricate system of forest roads, including Coon Hunter Rd, Tank Trail Rd, and Duffy Mcinnis Rd, crisscross the ridges and valleys. The map illustrates the varied topography between Little Kisatchie Bayou in the north and the lower wetlands around Silver Cr to the south, capturing the rural character of the parish boundaries in the early 21st century.
