About this map

Bayou Dorcheat dominates the western half of this Webster Parish landscape, its winding course accompanied by a network of drainage features like Wildcat Slough, Big Slough, and Davis Slough. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and notable rises such as Big Mound and Bull Hill. This area is rich in genealogical interest, with numerous small burial sites scattered across the township lines, including the Sikes Family Cem, Phillips-Wallace Cem, and Reagan-Kea Cem.

Settlement is concentrated near the community of Leton in the northeast and along a series of parish roads that crisscross the undulating timberland. The southern portion of the map enters the Kisatchie National Forest, where the environment transitions toward the banks of Flat Lick Bayou. Several house of worship sites with associated burial grounds, such as Evergreen Church Cem and New Zion Church Cem, serve as historical anchor points for this rural Louisiana community.
