1994 Map of Rosepine

About this map

Rosepine sits at the heart of this Louisiana landscape, where the northern edge of Deridder begins to emerge along the southern boundary. This 1994 update reveals the intersection of industrial land use and the natural drainage systems of the West Louisiana piney woods. To the west, the Anacoco River winds through the bottomlands, fed by numerous tributaries including Pocosin Creek, Big Creek, and Nichols Creek. The transition from rural forest to developed areas is evidenced by the presence of Gravel Pits and the specialized Minnow Ponds near the center of the sheet. Further south, the settlement of Ludington stands near the Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish line, a boundary that bisects the map and marks the shift between these two regional jurisdictions. The intricate network of waterways like Little Clear Creek and Flat Creek suggests a landscape historically defined by its timber and water resources.
