About this map

Neale and the northern outskirts of Merryville are the primary points of settlement in this 2024 survey of the Beauregard Parish and Vernon Parish line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Bayou Anacoco in the northwest and the expansive Persimmon Marsh to the east. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainage systems like Bear Head Creek, Trout Creek, and Beckwith Creek, which cut through the piney woods and agricultural plots of southwest Louisiana.

Local family history is rooted in the network of named roads such as Rooter Smith Rd, Hamp Jones Rd, and Bart Young Rd, which connect rural homesteads and timberlands. The Cooper Cem stands as a notable landmark near the center of the quadrangle, north of U.S. Highway 190. This map illustrates the modern transition from dense swamp and marshland to managed forestry and residential patches near the Sabine River basin.
