1974 Map of Slagle

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Slagle and the surrounding piney woods of Vernon Parish are defined by the expansive Fort Polk Military Reservation and the industrial remnants of earlier decades. Evidence of former timber and transport activity is clear in the Old Railroad Grade that winds through the terrain, long after the tracks themselves were removed. The map details the transition into military use, specifically at North Fort Polk, where campgrounds and a radio tower stand near the upper reaches of Whisky Chitto Creek. Rural life persists in small clusters of faith and family, marked by the Antioch Ch and its namesake Antioch Cem to the east, and Mt Bethel Ch near the center. The landscape is deeply dissected by a dense network of waterways, including Beason Creek, Castor Creek, and Dry Fork Bayou, which flow through the rolling elevations that characterize this portion of the Louisiana interior.
