About this map

Leesville serves as a significant hub in Central Louisiana, characterized by a detailed street grid and its proximity to the western edge of Fort Polk. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Vernon Lake and Anacoco Lake, which dominate the hydrology of the western and central portions of the quadrangle. Transport patterns are clearly marked by the Kansas City Southern railroad line, which runs north-south through Anacoco and Hawthorne, mirroring the primary road corridors that connect these smaller settlements to the parish seat.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial sites distributed across the area, including Leesville Cem, Holly Grove Cem, and Shady Grove Cem. The map provides a clear picture of the community infrastructure in the late 2010s, from the Leesville Airport to the various rural routes like Camp Baker Rd and Nolan Trce that wind through the timbered terrain and along the banks of Bayou Anacoco and Bayou Castor.
