About this map

The Kisatchie National Forest dominates the interior of this central Louisiana landscape, where the Louisiana Meridian serves as a primary north-south surveying line through the wooded terrain. Settled areas like Pollock and Bentley are situated along the southern and western margins, connected by a network of roads that weave through the drainage basins of Big Creek and Sugar Branch. This late-century survey reveals the heavy emphasis on silviculture in the region, most notably seen at the Stuart Pine Seed Orchard near the south-central border.

Water plays a critical role in the geography of the area, defined by the winding Little River and the prominent Big River Bend in the northeast corner at Kains Bluff. Smaller settlements such as Antonia, Farmland, and Sand Spur appear as quiet outposts within the forest. Genealogists and local historians can find several church-adjacent sites and local burial grounds marked simply as Cem, alongside industrial infrastructure like the Pumping Station situated near Jesse Branch.
