2012 Map of Simpson South

About this map

The Calcasieu River and its dense network of tributaries, including Big Slough and Mims Cr, define the landscape of northern Vernon Parish. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the upland settlements of Simpson and Walnut Hill down into the northern reaches of the Fort Polk military reservation. The geography is marked by a legacy of family and community landmarks, such as Glass Window Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, which anchor the small rural clusters at Mayo and Hicks. Moving south toward the military lands, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by drainage basins like Flactaw Cr and Brushy Cr. The mapping of Numerous parish roads and loop tracks, such as Zagar Loop and B Owens Loop, provides a detailed view of the local transportation network serving these timbered and rural residential areas.
