About this map

Leesville serves as the focal point of this Vernon Parish landscape, where the Kansas City Southern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the piney woods of west-central Louisiana. The 1990s terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the sprawling reaches of Vernon Lake and Anacoco Lake, which are fed by a network of waterways including Bayou Anacoco and East Anacoco Creek.

Smaller settlements like Anacoco and Hawthorne appear alongside evidence of local infrastructure, from the Landing Strip to the Communication Tower. For those researching family history, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Shady Grove Cem, Kay Cem, and Smith Cem. The distribution of these features reflects the historical shift from rural agricultural clusters toward the more concentrated growth seen within the Leesville Corp Bdy.
