About this map

Lake Iatt and its complex network of swampy tributaries dominate this portion of Grant Parish, where the land begins to rise into the southern reaches of the Kisatchie National Forest. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Parasol Bayou and Savage Creek, with prominent local elevations like Mossy Ridge and Potato Hill providing relief from the low-lying wetlands.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated primarily around the rural community of Iatt and along timber-access routes. Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites and landmarks, including the French Cemetery, Shady Grove Cemetery, and the Iatt Church. The surveyor's notes and the parish line between Winn Parish and Grant Parish illustrate the administrative and physical geography of this timber-rich region in central Louisiana.
