Leesville and the neighboring community of New Llano anchor the northern portion of this Louisiana landscape, where the Kansas City Southern railroad serves as a primary north-south corridor. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bayou Castor and Bayou Zourie, with the waters of Anacoco Lake marking the western edge. This 2018 survey provides an detailed view of the rural settlement patterns south of the parish seat, including smaller localities such as Elmwood, Pickering, and Savage Fork. Numerous family and community burial sites are documented throughout the area, including Gill Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Wilson Cem. The presence of timber-related infrastructure, such as Boise Cascade Dr, highlights the ongoing importance of the local forest industry. This document is particularly valuable for researchers tracing Vernon Parish genealogy, as it precisely locates several small cemeteries and established family-named landmarks like Billy Goat Hill.
