2020 Map of New Llano

About this map

Leesville and the neighboring community of New Llano anchor the northern portion of this Louisiana landscape, where the street grids of the parish seat give way to the winding waterways of the Piney Woods. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Bayou Castor and Bayou Zourie, with the northwestern corner dominated by the expanse of Anacoco Lake. This survey illustrates the modern layout of Vernon Parish, documenting the network of logging and forest service roads like Boise Cascade Dr that cut through the timberlands south of town. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Wilson Cem, Cooper Cem, and Gilli Cem, which are scattered among the smaller settlements of Coopers, Pickering, and Billy Goat Hill. The map meticulously records the transition from urban residential areas to the rural creek-bottoms of Nichols Cr and Big Br.
