2018 Map of Steep Gully

About this map

The town of Elizabeth sits at the southern edge of this Louisiana landscape, where the borders of Vernon, Rapides, and Allen Parishes converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways and drainage features like Hickory Log Gully, Steep Gully Br, and Cow Bayou, which cut through the timbered lowlands. This survey documents a rural infrastructure heavily tied to established family lines and local history, evidenced by the numerous named roads such as James Monk Rd, Bill Mack Rd, and Milburn Strother Rd. These roads connect small clusters of settlement at Westport and Steep Gully with vital community landmarks like Tenmile Cem and West Cem. The presence of Horseshoe and the residential area of Bufkin Hts near the southern boundary suggests a pocket of more concentrated development compared to the sprawling, water-braided landscape to the north.
