About this map

The northern edge of Kisatchie National Forest defines much of this landscape, where the settlements of Pitkin and Fullerton sit amid a dense network of piney woods and creek bottoms. The terrain is characterized by the branching drainages of Sixmile Creek and Big Creek, with numerous smaller tributaries like Soapstone Creek and Boggy Branch carving through the Vernon Parish countryside.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including Crowder Cem near the northern forest boundary and Mathis Cem closer to the Pitkin townsite. Faith and community life are represented by Mount Olive Ch and the Simmons Mill Ch further south. The map documents the transition between upland forest and the creek valleys, anchored by the smaller community of Dido near the southern border with Allen Parish.
