2012 Map of Little Sandy Creek

About this map

Vernon Lake defines the eastern boundary of this Vernon Parish landscape, where the wooded terrain is carved by a dense network of tributaries. The hydrology of the region is centered on the winding course of Little Sandy Creek and its many feeders, including Koonce Creek, Dogwood Branch, and Blue Creek. These waterways dictate the local geography, with roads often following the higher ground between creek beds. For those tracing local heritage, Beechgrove Cemetery serves as a significant landmark in the southwestern quadrant. The map reveals a transition from the established lakefront areas near Vernon Lake to the more interior forest lands accessed by routes like Camp Baker Trace. This 2012 survey illustrates the balance between natural water systems and the rural road network in central Louisiana.
