About this map

Fort Polk Military Reservation dominates the landscape of Vernon Parish in this mid-century survey, illustrating the significant military footprint in central Louisiana. The extensive installation includes infrastructure like an Airfield, Helicopterport, and specialized amenities such as a Golf course and Swimming pool. Surrounding the reservation, the rural character remains preserved within the Kisatchie National Forest, where a dense network of country churches and small cemeteries marks the local geography. Notable community centers include Slagle and Hicks, while religious and social life is anchored by landmarks like Walnut Hill Church and Holly Springs Church. The transition from earlier industrial eras is visible in the Dismantled railroad corridors that cut through the forest, once serving the timber industry. Numerous waterways, including the Calcasieu River and Whiskey Chitto Creek, drain the wooded terrain, providing a look at the natural hydrology before modern expansion.
