2024 Map of Sieper

About this map

The Calcasieu River and its dense network of tributaries, including Cypress Bayou and Majors Branch, define the landscape of this central Louisiana territory. Located along the boundary of Vernon and Rapides Parishes, the map reveals a region dominated by the Kisatchie National Forest. Small settlements like Sieper, Stille, and Hineston are linked by a complex web of rural roads, many bearing family names such as Murrell Price Rd and Jan Johnson Rd. This topography is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial sites including Pisgah Cem, Hardshell Cem, and Smith Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries and the Pisgah Church suggests the historical footprint of scattered logging and farming communities that have long characterized the piney woods and bottomlands of the Red River valley region.
