About this map

Tenmile Cr and its various tributaries, including Steep Gully and Hickory Log Gully, define the hydrology of this rural Allen Parish landscape. The settlement of Westport serves as a central point of reference, situated near the intersection of several local routes such as Jim Thompson Rd and Knapp Rd. The mapping of small drainage features like Alligator Cr and Mab Br suggests a terrain shaped by persistent water flow and low-lying wetlands typical of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find several significant burial sites across the area, specifically Tenmile Cem, West Cem, and Elizabeth Cem. Long-standing landmarks like the Plainview Lookout Tower near Bad Gully offer a sense of the region's historical monitoring of its timberlands. The dense network of named family roads, including Sonny Huff Rd and Sam Cloud Rd, provides a clear view of the area's rural land divisions and family-led settlement patterns in the early 21st century.
