2015 Map of Melder
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
The Calcasieu River meanders through the heart of this landscape, its path defined by numerous small tributaries like Goodman Br and Lemeuse Cr. This portion of Rapides Parish is deeply integrated into the Kisatchie National Forest, where a network of rural routes such as Potato Farm Rd and Peniel Loop connect scattered settlements. Local history is anchored by several rural burying grounds, including Lone Star Cem near the river and Campground Cem to the east. The map captures the small community of Calcasieu and the village of Melder, illustrating a land use pattern of forest management and isolated residential clusters. Waterways like Spring Cr and Campground Cr drain the low-lying terrain, highlighting the hydrological complexity typical of central Louisiana's pine woods.
