2004 Map of Sugrue

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates the landscape of this region on the border of Vernon and Beauregard Parishes. The map reveals a land defined by its many drainages, including Whisky Chitto Creek, Birds Creek, and Horse Branch, which carve through the wooded terrain. Settlement is sparse, characterized by small communities like Cravens, Sugrue, and Cole Central. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a Pumping Sta suggests a local economy tied to resource extraction and utility infrastructure. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a significant record of rural community life, documenting several local houses of worship such as Gravel Hill Ch, Lone Star Ch, and Pine Grove Ch. The map also preserves the locations of family and community resting places, including the Marlow Cem and the Wisby Memorial Cem near the Wisby Memorial Ch.
