2020 Map of Lacamp

About this map

Simpson and Lacamp anchor this landscape in Vernon Parish, where the winding Calcasieu River and its numerous tributaries like Mims Cr and Yellow Br define the local topography. This region is characterized by a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks that are vital for genealogical research. Historically significant burial sites, including Pine Island Cem, Mayo Cem, Scott Cem, and Laurel Hill Cem, are scattered throughout the territory, providing fixed points for local heritage. The southern portion of the map transitions into more specialized terrain, marked by Artillery Rd and Fullerton Rd, suggesting the proximity of military or industrial activity. Streams like E Fork Sixmile Cr and N Fork Mill Cr carve through the wooded sections, illustrating the drainage patterns that have long influenced settlement and land use in this part of Louisiana.
