Fort Polk and the Peason Ridge Training Area dominate the landscape of Vernon Parish, illustrating the significant military footprint in central Louisiana. This modern survey details the sprawling installation alongside the rural community of Slagle, where a network of family-named roads like Earl Haymon Rd and Gary Hunt Rd connects scattered homesteads. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of small burial grounds, including the Mount Bethel Baptist Church Cem, Antioch Baptist Cem, and Oak Forest Community Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists.
