About this map

Anacoco Lake dominates the northwestern corner of this Vernon Parish landscape, its shoreline dotted with recreational and residential markers like Methodist Landing, Red McManus Camp, and Lunkers Cove Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of winding waterways, including Bayou Castor and Bayou Zourie, which weave through the central and southern sections. These drainage patterns influenced the placement of early settlements and family landmarks, with New Llano serving as a primary hub in the northeast near Chateau Place.

Tracing the rural routes reveals a history tied to small communities and family plots such as Gill Cem, Wilson Cem, and the Cooper Cem near Elmwood. Further south, the community of Pickering sits along the primary north-south corridor, while distinctive local names like Billy Goat Hill and Savage Fork offer a glimpse into the vernacular geography of the region. This 2012 survey provides a detailed view of the transition from the lakeside camps to the wooded bayou country.
