About this map

Fort Polk military reservation and the Kisatchie National Forest dominate this section of Vernon Parish, creating a landscape defined by restricted access and timbered tracts. Small settlements like Cravens, Sugrue, and Markee border these large public lands, while Cole Central anchors the southern portion of the sheet. The area is heavily intersected by a network of local roads and loops, including the Old Railroad Gr, which hints at the region's logging history and earlier transportation corridors.

Local genealogy and history are preserved in numerous small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Marlow Cem, Drakes Fork Cem, and Grave Hill Cem. The drainage pattern is complex, with Whiskey Chitto and Whisky Chitto Cr serving as primary watercourses. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure at the edge of the military installations, showing the persistent presence of family-named roads like Troy Weldon Rd and Victor Martin Rd.
