About this map

Kisatchie National Forest defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the borders of Sabine, Natchitoches, and Vernon Parishes meet. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Little Kisatchie Bayou and Comrade Cr, which drain the timbered uplands. Small settlements like Kurthwood, Fisherville, Alco, and Dusenbury dot the eastern side of the quadrangle, connected by local routes such as the Craigerville Loop and Whitman Rd.

South of these communities, the terrain transitions into the northern military boundaries of Fort Polk. This section of the survey reveals a complex system of fire roads and trails, such as Kurthwood Fire Tower Rd and Tank Trail Rd, woven between numerous creek branches like Baygall Br and Indian Cr. Near the southern edge, the Calcasieu River flows past the isolated West Cem, providing a clear record of the rural land-use patterns and infrastructure in this part of Vernon Parish during the late 2010s.
