2003 Map of Melder

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

The Calcasieu River meanders through this landscape of the central Louisiana piney woods, defining a terrain shaped by the Kisatchie National Forest. This 2003 revision reveals a network of rural life anchored by community landmarks such as Union Hill Ch and Peniel Ch, alongside family-named sites like Stanley Cem. The map documents a blend of conservation and industrial land use, featuring the Palustris Experimental Forest (Longleaf Tract) and several Gravel Pits that suggest a reliance on local mineral resources. Strategic points such as the Sunset Lookout Tower overlook a dense system of waterways including Blounts Creek and Spring Creek, while the Base Line serves as a primary survey marker for the region's property boundaries.
