About this map

Tulla and the surrounding drainage basins of Beauregard Parish are defined by a complex network of waterways and early industrial agriculture during the mid-1980s. The landscape is characterized by its creek systems, including Wild Cow Creek, Mach Branch, and Cole Creek, which feed into the broader basin. Evidence of the region's agricultural transition is seen in the presence of Rice Field installations and a Well Siphon near Pin Oak Flat, indicating localized irrigation efforts.

Logistics and transport are marked by the remnants of the timber or rail era, most notably the Old RR Grade in the northeastern corner near the community of Tulla. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive network of Firebreak lines, reflecting forest management practices of the era. A small Cem. located near the intersection of several sections provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this part of Louisiana.
