About this map

Peason and the surrounding piney woods of Sabine Parish are defined by a complex network of bayous and seasonal creeks that drain this corner of western Louisiana. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Eagle Hill and the strategic Peason Lookout Tower, reflecting a geography once vital for forestry monitoring. Waterways such as Kisatchie Bayou and Kib Bayou wind through the terrain, joined by numerous branches like Wolf Prong Br and Lone Star Br.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and rural roads, with Corleyville to the northwest and Coburn to the northeast. Many routes, such as Boise Thaxton Rd and Clear Branch Rd, suggest the area's history of timber management. The presence of Frazier Lake and the various creeks, including W Anacoco Cr and Toro Cr, illustrates the hydrological transition from small upland springs to the larger bayou systems that characterize this region.
