About this map

The Calcasieu River meanders through this portion of Vernon Parish, creating a complex drainage network of bayous and creeks including Big Slough and Cypress Creek. The landscape is defined by the intersection of rural life and military operations, as the southern reaches are dominated by the Fort Polk reservation, including Artillery Lake and the Jason Ridge Training Area. This military presence contrasts with the small, scattered settlements of Simpson, Mayo, and Walnut Hill that have long anchored the local community. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented across the terrain, such as Union Grove Cem and Glass Window Cem. The intricate road network, consisting of parish roads and loops like Zagar Loop, reveals how these disparate hamlets and military training grounds are stitched together amidst the wet bottomlands of Spring Branch and Cowpen Gully.
