1978 Map of Sieper
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Calcasieu River meanders through the heart of the Kisatchie National Forest, creating a landscape defined by intricate creek systems and dense timberland on the border of Vernon and Rapides Parishes. Small communities like Sieper and Hineston anchor the region, connected by a network of forest roads and old railroad grades that speak to the area's history of logging. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered rural cemeteries and churches, such as Pisgah Ch Cem and Hardshell Cem, which are tucked away near watercourses like Comrade Cr and Cypress Bayou. The presence of the Nichols Landing Strip near Leander and various pipeline corridors indicates the gradual modernization of this remote forest landscape by the late 1970s.
