About this map

Rosepine and the northern reaches of DeRidder anchor this landscape along the border of Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Clear Creek, Flat Creek, and Cypress Creek, which carve through the piney woods of west-central Louisiana. These waterways are mirrored by a intricate web of parish roads and family-named lanes like Eugene Burns Rd and Thelton Teston Ln, reflecting a long history of rural settlement and timber-driven development.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, such as Miller Cemetery near the northern boundary and Cypress Creek Cemetery to the southwest. The small community of Neame sits along the primary north-south corridor, providing a glimpse into the rail-and-road economy of the early 21st century. The map effectively captures the interface between these established residential clusters and the surrounding woodlands, where landmarks like Pocosin Creek and Hickory Branch mark the natural drainages.
