About this map

Fort Polk dominates much of this landscape in Vernon Parish, highlighting the enduring military presence within the Kisatchie National Forest. The map documents a rural network of small settlements and family-linked sites, such as Cole Central, Sugrue, and Cravens. These communities are connected by a web of local routes including Old Railroad Gr and Lone Star Church Rd, reflecting the region’s history of timber harvesting and local transit.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented across the territory, including Marlow Cem, Drakes Fork Cem, and Pine Grove Cem. The hydrology is defined by the winding paths of Whisky Chitto Cr and its many tributaries like Sassafras Br and Tiger Cr, which dictate the drainage patterns through the wooded terrain. The boundary between Vernon and Beauregard Parish is also clearly marked along the southern edge.
