About this map

Kisatchie National Forest covers the northern reaches of this Louisiana landscape, where the piney woods of Natchitoches and Vernon Parishes meet. The settlement of Simpson sits at the southern edge, serving as a hub for local routes like Joy Lawrence Rd and Parish Rd 6028. Further north, the village of Hutton is established near the banks of Comrade Cr, a significant waterway that winds through the central portion of the survey.

Military history and genealogy are prominent themes, with a large section of Fort Polk extending into the southwestern quadrant. Local researchers can identify family-named sites such as Robinson Cem, Ballview Cem, and Welcome Cem. The drainage patterns are defined by a network of creeks and branches including Mill Cr and Mims Cr, leading toward the distinctively named Devil Swamp in the northeast corner and the low-lying Cowpen Gully near the center.
