2018 Map of Lacamp

About this map

The Calcasieu River winds through this Vernon Parish landscape, defining a region where small communities like Simpson and Lacamp are connected by a web of parish roads and family-named loops. The mapping reflects a rural topography heavily dissected by numerous watercourses, including Schoolhouse Cr, Spring Br, and the N Fork Mill Cr. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several dispersed burial grounds such as Pine Island Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Mayo Cem, which often serve as the primary landmarks for these unincorporated areas. The network of roads, including Hicks School Rd and Bennett Collins Loop, suggests a pattern of homesteads and small-scale timber or agricultural land use typical of the Louisiana piney woods. These detailed labels provide a clear view of the territorial divisions and water systems before further modern development.
