2015 Map of Rosepine

About this map

Rosepine sits at the heart of this landscape, marking the transition between Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish. This 2015 study traces the rural development along the Highway 171 corridor, where the settlements of Neame and Pinewood are situated north of the larger Deridder area. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Bayou Anacoco, Flat Creek, and Cypress Creek, which have influenced the placement of local cemeteries and parish roads. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including the Rosepine Cemetery and the more remote Miller Cemetery. The map captures the persistence of smaller rural communities and the extensive secondary road network, such as Planer Mill Road and Cypress Church Road, which weave through the timberlands and creek bottoms of western Louisiana.
