2012 Map of Temple

About this map

Temple and Burnstown anchor the southern portion of this central Louisiana landscape, where the local road network follows the winding course of Bayou Celestine. The area is defined by a dense system of seasonal drainages including Devils Cr, Comrade Cr, and Middle Cr, which suggest a terrain of low-lying wetlands and pine flats. Small settlements and specialized locations such as Zimmerman Camp and Temple Spur appear alongside rural crossroads like Mora and Pine Coupee in the north. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several community burial grounds, including Comrade Cem and Schorn Brook Cem, as well as Blackwell Cem further south. Long-established parish routes, such as Kisatchie-Mora Rd and Firetower Rd, provide a window into the historic movement of people and timber through this Vernon Parish region.
