1986 Map of Sugrue

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates the landscape of this mid-1980s survey, where the piney woods are intersected by a dense network of creek branches and drainage systems. The small settlements of Cravens and Sugrue appear as localized hubs within the forest boundary, while Cole Central and Denard mark the southern and eastern edges of the quadrangle. The topography is defined by the winding course of Whisky Chitto Creek and Little Sixmile Creek, which are fed by numerous small tributaries like Sassafras Branch and Marlow Branch. This period of the 1980s reveals a region balancing timber resources with light industrial activity, evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit and several Cem locations that provide important clues for genealogists tracking family plots in rural Vernon Parish. The border between Vernon Parish and Beauregard Parish runs along the southern boundary, anchoring the map's location in southwest Louisiana.
